Sun. They aren't dogmatic about it, but don't handle deep shade well.

Contrary to what my good friend Nick says, mine are in shade and they
multiply, beaucoup, so watch it Pete.

Nick, mine are planted in the rear garden, facing north, near the
house, not much sun, methinks mine don't know that they like sun, so
Pete should be careful, they could takeover, yes?

Flower better? Many plants grow well in shade, but flower better
in sun. My understanding is that Crocosmia is one such species.
My reservation was only about DEEP shade!

I would say that the flowers are no different to the ones in full
sun. In deep shade I agree nothing much does well unless you know
something that does Nick?

I'll transplant some into a sunny place and see if the flowers are
better next year.

It is netiquette to put in the 'alt=""' text for the benefit of
unsighted or poorly-sighted surfers, though I have to confess that a
lot of my site omits them - FTTB.

Hehe, I 'usually' use 'alt text'. I use Jalbum for
thumbs/links............darn sight easier that linking individual pics.

And as easy to edit?

Slugs and snails?

They're a blooming nuisance there...
