know Crocosmia are a bit of a joke really, but I am becoming a lazy
gardener in my old age, and keeping the borders clear of grass and weeds
is becoming an effort. * *:-(


They went through a period of deep unpopularity, but nowadays there are
varieties with flowers (often larger than the original) in all shades from
yellow through to rich red.


They're well worth growing for colour at this time of year, when a lot of
other thing have gone over. And the stems continue to be attractive even
when the flowers are over.

I bought a lovely yellow one this weekend, I was looking for Lucifer, but
they had sold out... I love them!


Shiela, send me your address privately and I will send you some. I
will be in London in about 10 days, so I can post them from there or
here or whatever.
