Forgotten 'Lucifer'

As I walk around the gardens I am realizing that if I don't jot down notes of what is doing well and what perennial is in full bloom right now I will have defeated the main purpose for creating this blog.
I have a plant that I had purchased last summer, 'Lucifer Crocosmia' Crocosmia x 'Lucifer', that is doing beautifully. I have never grown this plant before and after this past winter all that showed above ground was a sad looking little bent twig. As spring continued not much activity showed on this hapless looking bent twig and I was tempted to pull it out thinking that it had died from the harsh winter. Fortunately, being the super cautious gardener that I am, I left it alone and planted some little plants round it to hide the 'twig'. As the summer progressed I had mistaken the leaves that were growing in the vicinity of the twig for irises, since I have many in that garden, but walking past these plants this past week I could tell that these long, flat pointed leaves were part of this exotic looking 'Lucifer' with bright, vibrant red flowers that curve backwards in an arch. I now hope to locate more of these for the front gardens!
The stats printed on the back of the original 'ticket'"

I have it well mulched and water it infrequently. This is a 4 star plant for sure!
