Crocosmia Firestars - Firestarter

A standout from the Firestars series, Crocosmia ‘Firestarter’ forms upright, sword-shaped foliage that supports elegant arching sprays of bicolored tubular blooms—bright golden-yellow petals edged and striped in vivid orange-red. Blooming from midsummer into early fall, these striking flowers glow like summer embers, providing dramatic color and excellent cut-flower value. Thriving in full sun or partial shade, in moist but well-drained soils (including clay, sand, loam, or acidic), it’s heat-, drought-, and deer-resistant, and a magnet for hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies. A vigorous, clump-forming perennial, ‘Firestarter’ multiplies annually, perfect for borders, containers, and pollinator gardens.
