The Crocosmia genus originates from South Africa, where the plants thrive in warm, sunny habitats. ‘George Davison’ was bred in 1902 by horticulturist George Davison in England, and quickly became one of the most admired Crocosmia cultivars for its vibrant coloring and reliable flowering. Over time, it has remained a staple in cottage gardens and cutting gardens, valued for its bold yet refined display.
