LUCIFER PLANTS FOR SALE... & Ajuga reptans - 'Atropurpurea'
Crocosmias produce dense clumps of upright iris-like foliage. In midsummer this makes a good background for the small, profuse flowers. 'Lucifer' is an aptly-named variety because its flowers are the hottest coloured of all - a searing paprika orange/red. The individual blooms are not as big as other crocosmias', but small-flowered varieties such as this are the hardiest which makes them a wise choice in cold districts. Grown in a flower border, they provide structure and colour. £2.50 A CLUMP • Other common namesdark purple bugle • SynonymsAjuga reptans 'Purpurea' • FamilyLamiaceae • GenusAjuga are mostly spreading, rhizomatous perennials with attractive evergreen foliage, rarely annuals, with whorled two-lipped flowers forming short spikes • Details'Atropurpurea' is a vigorous perennial forming a dense mat of deep bronze-purple, ovate leaves and short erect spikes to 15cm tall, of deep blue flowers in late spring and early summer £5.00 per large clump Ad ID: Delivery Service Consumer Credit
