Coppertips

Add a flash of brilliant red to your outdoor space with the Lucifer Crocosmia Plant (Coppertips.) These vivid wands of intense red, delicate tubular flowers demand attention atop narrow, bladed leaves that add a new dimension of interest to your garden. Reward the hummingbirds and butterflies in summer and then watch as the blooms give way to seedpods which feed hungry birds as they prepare for winter. Description from growjoy.com
