Default crocosmia lucifer
I have some seeds of the above deep red flowered crocosmia (I assume it will come true to seed unless someone knows otherwise . I'f you'd like some let me know - I'm not looking for a swap - just to spread nature's harvest!

As you were! Used my initiative and looked at your blog! Seeds in tomorrow's post (assuming it actually goes tomorrow as against getting back-logged.)

Hi Flummery,

if you've still got any crocosmia seeds left, I'd love a few, if you don't mind. Let me know how much postage was, and I'll reimburse you

Thanks

Vik

Still got some Vik. PM me with your address and I'll get some off. Not worth worrying about the postage. When I'm poor I'll come and pester you!

OK Flums, fascinated! I think that I might be interested if I knew what it was. The misses is certainly interested in a red flower. Can we have some details please?

The crososmias used to be called montbretia. They have strap-like leaves and vary in height from about 18" to lucifer's 3 ft or more. Flowers go from yellow through the more common orange to lucifer's fiery red. I have it towards the back of a border and it's a stunner. I suspect you'd find it on Google Images. Still got some seeds left

I would be delighted to have a few if there are any left? Only a small garden, so I wouldn't need loads!

Thank you very much Kath, and a lovely card & seed packet too.

Hope I'll be able to return the kindness sometime!
