Crocosmia 'Lucifer'

[ height 4 ft., flower scarlet red, sun to part shade, clump former, spreader ]

CROCOSMIA With scarlet red flowers flaming above iridaceae like foliage, Crocosmia’s beckon hummingbirds to the garden.  Plants can be short lived north of zone 6 and hardiness is relative to plant and corm size.  In the northeast they are well worth their short stay, adding a sharp architectural form to the full sun perennial border.
