Hi Joanie,
I've got C.'Solfatare', which is not a true yellow, more an apricot yellow;
it has lovely bronze leaves. I moved it this spring and it has not
flowered this year, but I seem to remember that it flowered for quite a few
weeks last year, and it is a really pretty plant. C. 'Lucifer' lasted three
to four weeks, and C. crocosmiiflora about 6. (I keep having to consign
large quantities of this to the compost: it is really too invasive for my
small garden.) Another new one for me this year was C. 'Dusky Maiden',
which has bronzy leaves, and bronzy-orange flowers. This was nearly over
when I bought it, but the colour was quite subtle. I'm hoping to get C.
'Citronella' which is a purer yellow than 'Solfatare'.
Which cultivars do you have? What do you do with them over winter?
