There is as yet no sign at all of any flower stems. Is it usual for
newly planted Crocosmia corms not to yield flowering plants in the

Franz

Earlier this year I planted some bought corms of C. masonorum
alongside a single corm of the same that I had already growing, as I
wanted to increase the numbers faster than letting nature do it. My
single corm is in flower, while the bought ones don't look as if
they'll set flower this year.
