10 Seeds Crocosmia Lucifer Red Montbretia Sword Lily

Crocosmia 'Lucifer' is a striking perennial prized for its vivid scarlet blooms that rise above upright, sword-shaped green foliage in midsummer, creating a bold vertical accent in beds and borders. This montbretia variety is a long-standing garden favorite for its vivid color and vigorous growth habit in temperate landscapes.
The brilliant red flowers open along arching stems and are excellent for cut arrangements, while the clumping foliage adds architectural interest from spring through fall. Plant in a sunny border or cottage garden where the upright form can be appreciated, and allow the corms to naturalize for increasingly full displays in subsequent seasons.
