Rick,
All you need to know about Monbretia, and Crocosmia in particular, is
readily available at www.theafricangarden.com is here.

I have the same problem as you but with bluebells. No matter how many I dig
up there are always a few that will pop up where they are not wanted. Just
perservere and invite friends round to dig them up for you as freebies for
their own garden.

That's the chap. They grow from corms, and each corm produces *tiny*
little corms, each of which will grow & produce more corms ad infinitum

Wow.....When I pulled them up last year I must have missed quite a few as
I
have a whole stand of them.....

... I'm very fond of them (in moderation) because they remind me of
Cardiganshire & they've been very useful for filling in spaces until I
can get something better to replace them.

Oh....they are very pretty without doubt....
And make a nice contrast to a green garden

Sticks & stones can break their bones ... I've been called all sorts of
things in my time too, but I just get on with life regardless

B-)
I just thought it was funny that they were labeled as a weed.....
