Crocosmia  Lucifer

<i>Crocosmia</i> ‘Lucifer’

Crocosmia

Montbretia

Coveted by florists, these brightly colored flowers bloom along the length of tall, arching spikes, which emerge from handsome clumps of swordlike foliage. If given well drained soil and divided every two to three years, this fountain-shaped plant will continue to pour spectacular color into your garden for a long, long time.

The fiery fountain of open red blooms, borne in an upright fashion along a single side of its wiry, purple-tinted stem, will burn this excellent cut flower into your heart. A valiant forest of stiffly pleated, medium green, swordlike foliage highlights the hot display. Give ‘Lucifer’ his due by showing off his devilishly fine color next to Campanula lactiflora ‘Prichard’s Variety’ and counterpose his bold form with the refined delicacy of Thalictrum ‘Hewitt’s Double’.

Blooms July–August.

Size: 4'–4-1/2' high x 2-1/2'–3' wide; hardy to zone 6.
