Crocosmia Lucifer

I've planted these in several locations and soil types in South Carolina. They are reliable and easy to care for. Their blooms are pleasant and the hummingbirds absolutely love them. The strappy foliage remains deep green until frost. They are easy to clean-up in Winter.

Had to put in planters since my beds aren't ready. Only 5 have come up. Not good so far. Thought others would have already come up with the others. Arrived with some mold I guess it is. Have to wait and see and if they flower

I planted a few and they took off I have beautiful flowers till late in the fall. I have never dug mine up i do nothing and in earth summer I rake off the dead leaves and stems from the previous summer and they come up again. I have found the spread so you need to pull the ones that come up where you don't want them. I think if left alone they could overtake your flower garden

I love this flower A must get.

I live in zone 5b, Colorado. Bought pkg. 25, started in plastic nursery pots in spring, and then transplanted spikes to garden in June; heavily mulching the beds. I had no issue with almost all bulbs coming up, and some were very small! The big thing was paying attention to the instructions and planting them with the bulb in the correct position. They are tricky because they look almost the same on top as they do on the bottom. Pay close attention and you will have success in planting. In addition, it was about 5 weeks before I saw them pop through the top of the soil. I do suggest pots first and you then know you are getting what you paid for and can also baby them. Do not saturate them, nor let them dry out. Some relief from the afternoon sun also seemed to help. Now they are in the ground and seem to be doing well. I will check back and leave an update closer to late fall. I left this same review for the Crocosmia mix; check those out too!

Crocosmia are one of the easiest bulbs to grow and yet not a one sprouted. I have spring bulbs coming. I hope they are better than these.

I had these crocrosmia at a former home and loved them. They were care free (no lifting) and the hummingbirds loved them, so purchased some in spring 2021 for our new (to us) home. I got lots of leaf growth last season, but not a single bloom. As with the ones at the old house, I did not lift them this winter (zone 6a), so we will see how they do this coming season. I gave this 3 stars because they did grow, and I have not given up hope they will be firmly established and bloom in 2022.

Have increased these in my garden over 5 years. They bloom well, have multiplied, and the hummingbirds love them. Lucifer grows best for me. I do not lift in fall and they overwinter well even in my zone (5B). Woodchucks and deer leave them alone.

The shorter ones are all orange no yellow / 100% yield. The tall red - only 5 red the rest orange / 50% yield - not a great success. I was disappointed that the colors were not right - also the batch yielded only 50%. I wanted variety which didn't happen. This was from 3 groups of 25 bulbs ea. I would not order these again much as I love Crocosomia.

The corms arrived healthy and good size, however, none of them bloomed the first year, I'm hoping it will bloom next year.
