    Customer photo review of Crocosmia Bulbs - Lucifer

    I planted these in Spring 2025, and got zero blooms last year. This year was a very different story. I couldn't be happier. The plants are robust and have spread. I love this beautiful flower. Quite a show stopper!! And beloved by the pollinators.

    Crocosmia Bulbs - Lucifer

    Store owner replied: Hello Aderrick. Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that your bulbs did not do well for you! Crocosmia can sometimes be slow to emerge, particularly in cooler spring weather, and they generally prefer well-drained soil and consistent moisture while becoming established. Excessively wet conditions, poor drainage, or prolonged periods of cool soil temperatures can all affect emergence and early growth. We are glad we were able to connect with you directly and provide a resolution that you were satisfied with. We also appreciate your patience while we worked through your concerns during the busiest time of our year, when our customer service team was handling a significantly higher volume of inquiries than normal. At Eden Brothers, we stand behind our products and are always happy to help when issues arise. Thank you for your feedback, your patience, and for giving us the opportunity to make things right!

    Don’t buy on sale as they send poor products.

    My garden wasn’t ready to plant, so I planted my bulbs in pots. They might not have been in their happiest place, but they were beautiful!

    I have grown Lucifer Crocosmia bulbs years ago, and cannot wait to grow them again! They are hardy, beautiful and produce gorgeous red flowers all summer until frost! They last for days in cut arrangements and add a great texture to arrangements.

    I planted these a little late in 2015 and they grew foliage but no flowers. This year they grew to be 3'-4' high and the blooms were all I could have wished for.
