Can any body identify this plant? It comes from a bulb and develops
small red flowers in the summer. The flower has now died back and the
long leaves are now changing colour from green to yellow. The leaves are
around 12 - 18 inches long. Also is there any way to propergate this
plant as it look pretty good during the summer. I have attached a couple
of photo's.

Crocosmia AKA Montbretia

Quickest way to propogate is to divide the corms in the spring.

They can also be grown from seed, but I think they have to be
stratified (planted into moist soil and subjected to a period of
cold temperature).
