A good plant that gives masses of flower throughout August is Crocosmia, they come in various colours of yellow, red and orange, They grow from corms and can be late coming into growth in the spring so remember them when tidying your borders in the spring.
The new varieties are not so invasive as the old orange types which people might know better by the old name Monbretia.
Within a few years of planting you should have a nice clump that will have masses of flowers over quite a long period of late summer.
St Bridget Nurseries grow the following varieties.
Crocosmia Emberglow -Red
Crocosmia George Davidson - Yellow
Crocomia Emily Mckenzie -Orange with a dark centre blotch
