Lots of these ?

davemed · July 2018

I have lots of these plants because I keep dividing them. The flowers are a nice bright orange and last some time. When I divide them they are either bulbs or corms.
Can you name this plant and how to cultivate the right way. The leaves die back in winter.
Thank you.

Name now changed to Crocosmia...but common name Montbretia often still used......there are many beautiful named cultivars.
Can be very invasive.

Trecanna nursery in Cornwall sells many named cultivar..See..

You need no advice about cultivation - you're doing fine!

They are good to lift and give away the bulbs if they get out of hand. Mine are just coming out. I do love the red ones.

That's the colour (red with orange centre) that I have Fire . Mine are in a small bed under trees so have to fight to survive so not "yet" taking over.😁
