Crocosmia /Montbretia ( Crocosmia crocosmiiflora) also known in Brazil as Fire star, has long inflorescences, with small red-orange or yellow flowers, and long, opaque green foliage.
It is a rustic plant and has become sub-spontaneous throughout Brazil, perhaps with the exception of the North region, for this reason its cultivation is very easy, it is not attacked by pests or diseases, nor does it need special fertilizers to develop well.
Flowering is abundant in spring and summer, providing long inflorescences, attracting butterflies and bees.
As it is a perennial plant that produces bulbs, it can be grown in compositions, in masses or as a border.
Its growth is somewhat uncontrolled, and can expand a lot.
