Crocosmia Firestarter
Crocosmia Firestarter
Specially bred to exhibit a striking bicolor palette, this new Crocosmia displays elegant, tubular flowers in a vivid yellow hue accented with brilliant orange edges and matching center stripe.

Flowers are long lasting when cut for arrangements. Plants multiply annually.

None Blossomed but Hopeful
Purchased 10 bulbs, I believed 7-8 sprouted (I may have missed a stem). None blossomed but I think they may have been close as the stems were doing well. The bulbs look a little better than when they were planted. My hope is that next year with an earlier planting they will bloom, and I will update the review if they manage to take off.
