The Crocosmia Hyoseroides is a common, medium-sized plant and can be found mostly in savannas. It blooms once a year, for 2 weeks. It has wide, spoon shaped leaves, which are usually light red. It also grows quite large flowers, which can be dark blue, light silver and dark gold. These plants grow in small numbers, but it's complicated to control and maintain their growth. They can be used as a hallucinogen. As a defense mechanism the Crocosmia Hyoseroides grows large thorns. They rely on winds to carry their seeds away to reproduce. Once pollinated, they grow small, inedible nuts.
