Crocosmia Lucifer delights both gardeners and professional flower arrangers. Hardy and easy to maintain, the plants are deer and drought resistant. Stiff, arching stems bear sprays of funnel-shaped, fire-engine-red blooms amid mounding sword-shape foliage. Florists frequently use Crocosmia to add sparks of color and graceful curves to cut-flower arrangements. Gardeners plant them in groups for a colorful border. They’re so easy to grow, you’ll find yourself cutting some and bringing them indoors to add a bit of drama to your own flower arrangements.
