Crocosmia 'Lucifer' (Ships in Spring)

Montbretia

Crocosmia 'Lucifer' is known for its brilliant red, tubular flowers that bloom in dense clusters from mid to late summer. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, it attracts hummingbirds and butterflies while resisting deer. Its upright, sword-like foliage adds vertical interest to borders, and its drought tolerance makes it a reliable choice for low-maintenance gardens.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Crocosmia 'Lucifer' (Ships in Spring)

Planting: Plant corms in spring after the last frost or in fall in warmer climates. Set them 3 to 5 inches deep and 6 to 8 inches apart in fertile, well-drained soil.
Location: Prefers full sun (6–8 hours daily). In hot climates, light afternoon shade is acceptable.
Soil: Moist but well-drained, humus-rich soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Amend heavy clay with compost or sand for better drainage.
Watering: Keep soil evenly moist during the growing season. Once established, crocosmia is moderately drought-tolerant.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 6–9. Some cultivars like ‘Lucifer’ are hardy to zone 5 with mulch protection.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) in early spring and again in midsummer to support flowering.
Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms to encourage reblooming. Cut back foliage in late fall after it yellows.
Propagation: Divide clumps every 2 to 3 years in spring or fall to prevent overcrowding and maintain vigor.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
