Crocosmia 'Lucifer'
Lovely seedheads appear after flowering is finished.
Common Name: Montbretia, Crocosmia
Regarded as one of the hardiest cultivars, 'Lucifer' adds a tropical flair to northern gardens. Beginning in midsummer and continuing into early fall in some climates, brilliant flame red flowers stand in rows on wiry, gracefully arched stems that are perfect for cutting.
Crocosmia's broad, sword-like leaves are attractive even when the plants are not in bloom and, from a design standpoint, are effective for adding a spiky textured element to the landscape.
