About Hot Spot

Yellow flowers with a central red star.

Hot Spot is one of the Firestars series created by Paul Lewis, an amateur plant breeder who has been hybridizing falling stars and gladiolus on the Isle of Wight in England for almost 30 years.

About Falling Stars

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.
