Hi everyone, this year I moved my lupins to a different area of the
garden & bought some 'crocosmia crocosmiiflora' bulbs to bring a splash
warmth and colour, we planted them in late april at the spacing of ten
centimetres. The problem is I see no sign of the flowers, I've left the
area un-weeded (aside from those which I am certain are weeds and not
flowers, as I keep reiterating I'm a complete gardening novice) What do
young crocosmia look like? What should I be seeing at this stage? I
followed the instructions to the letter, is there any reason why they
wouldn't show up? The flowering time is supposed to be July to
September. Any advice very welcome.

I planted crocosmia corms last spring. They are about 18" high and no sign
of any flowers yet.

The crocosmia I transplanted last autumn are about 15-18" high and some
clumps are forming flowers, not yet open.

I still have a large clump from where I thought I'd removed them,
looking more vigorous than last year. ;-)
