I wouldn't worry about transplanting it. It will soon find its way to your
new bed and just about everywhere else in your garden.

Well, that /is/ a bit of an exaggeration. There are some very well-behaved
Crocosmias, but there are some awfully invasive ones, too. Unfortunately,
it is impossible to say which is which until they flower, and even then it
may not be clear. Just keep an eye out for plants which appear well away
from the main clump.


How do they spread? - seeds?
I wouldn't mind a few of these but obviously I'm not paying for them if the
seeds are viable
