    Crocosmia ‘Diablito™’ features arching spikes of scarlet-red flowers displayed above dark green, sword-like foliage. Divide every 3-4 years for best flower production. Montbretia adds long lasting color to mixed perennial borders, containers or mass plantings. Prefers light, humus-rich, well-drained soil. A winter mulch in cooler climates is helpful.
