Crocosmia 'Lucifer' is a stunning Crocosmia with apple green foliage and bright-red flowers. It will grow practically anywhere seeds readily. The flowers are attractive even before they open. It reaches a height of about 1 meter.
Pair it with Helenium 'Sahin's Early Flowerer'. This is an exceptionally long flowering Helenium, starting in early July and continuing to the end of September. It needs to be deadheading but do this carefully. It grows to a height of around 90cm.
Add Sedum 'Matrona'. This is bigger and stockier than most Sedums and flowers from August through Autumn. It will reach a height of 80cm.
Pair this with Sedum Herbstfreude Group. This is a Sedum that looks good almost all the year round. It should be grown in front of the Crocosmia. It reaches a height of 60cm.
Finally a purple geranium at the front. I would suggest Geranium 'Nimbus' - the foliage contrast beautifully with the crocosmia. This will grow to a height of approximately 40cm.
All these plants require moist well drained soil, but the sedums will tolerate drier conditions.
