Montbretia 'Bright Eyes', Coppertips 'Bright Eyes', Falling Stars 'Bright Eyes', Crocosmia 'Walbreyes'
Compact and free-flowering, Crocosmia ‘Bright Eyes’ features clumps of erect, bright green, sword-shaped leaves and brilliant sprays of large, upright or front-facing, bright-orange flowers with a contrasting scarlet-red eye.

They attract hummingbirds like no other. ‘Bright Eyes’ is sterile and will flower prolifically without throwing inferior self-sown seedlings.
