Crocosmia Lucifer

This plant was purchased in a small pot in 2006. It gets larger every year. The Crocosmia Lucifer is the center piece for the ornamental grass bed. It sort of fits in with the grass vegetation. I expect a magnificient bloom this year.

 

Although listed under Crocosmia actually a bigeneric hybrid.

 

I got this plant as bulbs about 5 years ago, and they just started blooming here. Absolutely stunning. My favorite plant in the garden. Grow like weeds, and give me good flowers! Enjoy!

The humming birds will love you for growing those. It's one of their favourite diners in our garden.
