Crocosmia ‘Inoveris’ (Walbreyes Bright Eyes™ Crocosmia) produces tall spikes (18-24” high) of bright yellow-orange flowers with a deep red throat. The flowers face or point slightly upright compared to other varieties producing a more attractive display. This sterile cultivar created by noted U.K. horticulturist, David Tristan, continues to flower even when the corms become crowded – a boon for gardeners who dislike dividing clumps of bulbs. Hardy in USDA zones 6 through 10. Plant in full sun in areas that frequently dry out and get hot. Protect corms from voles, if possible. Hummingbirds are strongly attracted to the flowers. All seven species of Crocosmia are native to South Africa. The dried flowers of C. aurea, one of the parents of this cultivar, smell like saffron when placed in water. Another species is a source of yellow dye.
