Fair enough. Crocosmia is everywhere. Now that you recognise it you'll think "how could I have missed it?!?!?!". If you are an absolute beginner it may be worth investing in some Winter reading material. A lot of folk on the forum started with the Dr Hessayon books. They cover most of what "ordinary" gardens have in them along with basic propagation and pruning advice. They have a few pages on pests and diseases too. They are quite old now but still useful as reference books (and cheap ). https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_1_13?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=flower+expert+dr+hessayon&sprefix=flower+expert,aps,308&crid=KWITS5TIQJJE I started with Flower Expert and the Tree and Shrub Expert. You can build on them as you live and learn (and save up for big books).
Thank you for all that info. I'm going to ask my work to look into buying me some books like this to use when I'm out and about. Thanks again.
There are the remains of sissyrinchium seed heads ... I think all the dead leaves are sissyrinchium too - mine look like that at this time of year - and there’s a bearded iris growing through them.
