    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Smashing yellow Crocosmia with nice sized flared open flowers. A good clumper with nice vigor. I don't know if this has been explored yet but I wonder if given the name 'Citronella' that perhaps it would be a mosquito deterrent if one was to set fire to a clump in the garden.
