Thank you for the
Crocosmia is a genus of flowering plants in the iris family (Iridaceae), native to South Africa. They’re known for their striking, arching sprays of bright funnel-shaped flowers in shades of red, orange, and yellow that bloom in mid-to-late summer.

Here are some key points:

🌱 Growth habit: Herbaceous perennials with sword-like, pleated green leaves. They grow from underground corms (like gladiolus).

🌸 Flowers: Appear in succession along arching stems, making them especially graceful in garden borders. Popular varieties include Crocosmia ‘Lucifer’ (fiery red), Crocosmia ‘Emily McKenzie’ (orange with red centers), and Crocosmia ‘George Davison’ (golden yellow).

🌍 Uses: Ornamental in gardens for color and pollinator attraction (especially hummingbirds and butterflies).

☀️ Care: Thrive in full sun with well-drained soil; moderately drought-tolerant once established. Hardy in USDA zones 5–9, though in colder areas they may need mulching or lifting/storing corms over winter.

🌿 Spreading: Can naturalize and spread by corm offsets; in some regions, they can become invasive if not managed.

Would you like me to create a care and propagation guide (step-by-step) for crocosmia, or more of a landscape design guide showing how to use them effectively with other plants?

Kris initially offered gladiolus bulbs, then generously added borage, comfrey, columbines and a fern! My friend and I are so grateful and her garden (and the pollinators!) will be much better off for seasons to come! Thank you!
