Crocosmia masonorum x paniculatus 'Lucifer'
This is a perennial from a bulb or corm and a great plant for southern gardens multiplying well in good moist neutral or acid soil in sun or semi-shade. Showy spikes of orange-red flowers over long period in spring and summer. Grass-like flattened leaves. This South African plant has been extensively hybridized and selected and there are a number of varieties. Some have suggested that our plant is not 'Lucifer' but we find it to be a great garden plant.
