In the early spring, I planted a dozen corms of a *yellow* crocosmia.
( The variety was not specified in any more detail
{:-((
The plants are thriving, with the leaves now approximately 40 cm long.
They were planted about 1.5 metres from a floriferous group of
"Lucifer, receiving very similar light, and in very similar soil
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
year of planting?

Have a bit of patience! Some of my crocosmia have a few flower stems,
but most of them have no sign at all yet, and you're north of me!

Kay, my worry stems from the fact that my "Lucifer" group is in full
flower and the new ones are showing no sign of obliging. But I'll be
patient......

don't worry. the different varieties don't all flower at exactly the same
time. Also local climate makes a huge difference - my parent's haven't even
got buds, whilst mine are in flower and they are the same variety.
I'd put money on them flowering - they're a very strong plant...

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.

Hey, Robert I am talking about a really yellow crocosmia, not your
usual orange Montbretias! I paid good money for them and I expect
them to perform accordingly
