Nursery contributed plant descriptions

We've had C. 'Hellfire' before but only had a few. But now we have plenty. We got the original plant from Kelly & Sue at Far Reaches. This plant is the closest to red of any crocosmia. The plant has very intense flowers in July.

If you are familiar with Arthur Brown’s rendition of ‘Fire’, we are sure he wrote this song about this selection! We also call it ‘Big Red’ here…stems are 3’ (and clumps as wide) topped with large, bright red flowers midsummer. Hummer wars ensue! Non flopper for us in FULL sun, lean soils, occasional water. Burn burn burn!

If this is what you get for sinning then I can hardly wait! New selection from the UK that has to be Lucifer's love child. This is much better than that old devil with dark sooty stems holding deeper blood red flowers with a wider flared corolla. So bad it's good. Burn, baby burn!
