know Crocosmia are a bit of a joke really, but I am becoming a lazy
gardener in my old age, and keeping the borders clear of grass and

They went through a period of deep unpopularity, but nowadays there
are varieties with flowers (often larger than the original) in all
shades from yellow through to rich red.

They're well worth growing for colour at this time of year, when a
lot of other thing have gone over. And the stems continue to be
attractive even when the flowers are over.

They certainly are Kay, I have a huge splash of red in the garden with
the C.Lucifer. I have divided them for neighbours, planted them in
other areas, but still they multiply, saying that, I would not be
without them, they are ginormous.

Any chance of some corms when you come over next?
