replant them lol. Only joking, well partly anyway, they get everywhere and
won't stay put

Too true. In our tiny front garden, every year as they finish flowering, I
grab the foliage and pull it ALL out, mostly comes out with bulbs, but
enough stay in to flower the next year, and this way they don't get too
rampant. And if I did kill them off, I'm sure some of the neighbours would
be glad to let me have some of theirs :-))

If you mean the common montbretia, glyphosate knocks them back a
treat, although there always seem to be a few youngsters that survive
to the following year, but I just pull them up as they appear. After
three years I've just about eliminated them from my garden. Plenty
still outside in the lane, and very nice they look too, but that's
where they belong IMHO and that's where they'll stay. There are plenty
of much better crocosmias available these days.
