Description
Common Name: Montbretia ‘George Davidson’
Clump forming with long arching stems of bright yellow flowers, excellent for late summer colour. The yellow-orange blooms can reach up to 2.5′ tall and spread to fill a roughly equal area. Montbretia ‘George Davidson’ can reach larger spreads in ideal growing conditions.
