| This is a beautiful red plant that I want to mix into my informal beds which are mostly pinks,blue. I am not sure what to put with this plant. My preferrence would be to cool it rather than warm it up. I want to put it in front of a grey deck with white lattice around edges. I appreciate any info you can offer.
Also, I don't want a shrub and this would be something on the side to fill a bed or in front of it. |

| I should have done a search first. I found some wonderful ideas. Thanks anyway. I LOVE this place! |

| This is really late, but I saw a photo of Crocosmia "Lucifer" inter-planted with blue Sea Holly - gorgeous. May I ask what other ideas you have found? Thanks- -Sprout |

| I have some that comes up around some bright red 'Peggy's Strawberry Surprise' daylilies. I didn't plan it that way but I like the way it looks. I also like how it looks against 'Indian Summer' rudbeckias, bronze fennel and salvia gregii in another area. |

| I just read later responses tonight. I did a search on this site and there are many ideas (just type in at top and search). Someone posted a site that is on the Crocosmia and gives companion ideas and care so I'll post that here for others to see. I decided to move them this fall when they die back...I have a better spot so I didn't actually do companion plants. Just to fill in spots this summer I used some left over white cosmos. They looked really nice with the fern folliage and bright whites peeking through, and I still have blooms now that the Lucifer has stopped blooming. Here's the site. Happy planting! http://www.greatplantpicks.org/content/Plant_Information/PDF_files_fac t_sheets/CrocosmiaLucifer.pdf |
