Lucifer

Norwich Canary Family iridaceae Life cycle perennial (Z6-9) Flowers red (summer) Size 4' Light sun Cultural notes ordinary garden soil From seed germinate at room temperature detailed seed-starting info below We thought we had lost this plant a few years ago (we had, in its main patch), so I was delighted to see this plant had returned to bloom, from a small division set in a different garden area. The cultivar 'Lucifer' is one of the most brilliant reds in our garden. Just this spring, I bought a few corms of a different variety, 'Norwich Canary', which is almost as striking in rich yellow.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following areas: back yard island, orchard nursery area

Seed for this plant is included on my seed trade list
