Re: Crocosmia 'Lucifer' IN z6A

I grow my dahlias and gladiolas in a seperate bed that I constructed a 
couple of years ago down at the bottom of the driveway. It isn't really a 
raised bed, because it's on the same level as the surrounding lawn, but what 
we did was scoop out a huge divot in the side of the slope leading down to 
the driveway, fill it with rock and sand to give it good drainage and then 
top it off with a couple of feet of top soil.  I don't grow anything in this 
bed but tender bulbs, tubers and corms, so that I can dig up the whole bed 
and store the plants in the fall.  It works out pretty well. And I can grow 
a lot of hot colours down there where they make a good display for those 
passing by on the road, can be seen well from the house, but don't clash 
with the more pastel notes of the main beds.
