My Crocosomia have started blooming -- impressively. These are
new to me, planted last year, and I wonder if I should deadhead.
Will that extend blooming?

These things spread so, I wonder if they're potentially invasive.

Deadheading won't produce any more blooms. What you see is what you
get, like most bulbs/corms. I imagine deadheading to keep energy from
going into seed production would apply.

They *are* considered invasive in many places, but not like some
spreading weed. The corms simply reproduce often. They like a lot of
sun.

Mine aren't blooming yet. I'll go out and speak to them. :-)
