Beautiful Weed

Montbretia

Montbretia (crocosmia) is a vigorous bulb like plant from South Africa. It is a perennial and a weed. Described as noxious in places. 

 I likely will never get it out of the flower garden. Our humming birds love it. You can see them drinking from these orange blossoms constantly.

The rate of growth is rather amazing. Last year it was about seven inches tall. Look at it now. I have it tied to a wrought iron pole.

Would you remove this weed or leave it? 

Move it to our side lot?
