About Firestarter

Up-facing yellow flowers with reddish orange margins and a central stripe on each petal.

Firestarter is one of the Firestars series created by Paul Lewis, an amateur plant breeder who has been hybridizing Crocosmia and Gladiolus on the Isle of Wight in England for almost 30 years.

Arching stems lined with star-faced trumpets in fall. Sword-like foliage. Plant 3–5" deep and close together for best display. Dig up and store the bulb-like corms dry in a pot over the winter. Long-lasting as cut flowers. Deer- and rabbit-resistant.
