  • It just hasn’t really flowered- -inherited the garden 3 years ago and it has never done much! going to attack the border that these are in and have a big move around- it may end up not going back in!

    They get tired.  If they are not regularly lifted and divided and refreshed they will stop flowering and just produce masses of leaves.  Up to you whether you bin them or try re-planting a few.

  • Hmm may have a look at some gaps and see if I can find a few spaces for some divided ones. Thanks for the advice! 
  • Your crocosmia has flowered ... your photo shows one remaining flower and some seed pods.

  • Yes, there have been a few flowers, but for the size of the plant and in a very busy border near some very large geraniums it gets a bit lost. Going to have a move about and hope that next year I see it more in it’s glory

    Thank you for correcting my ill-advised nomenclature.  And that's a long word for a Monday morning.

    It's a long word for any time of  day!  :D
    That's the problem with them @lizziec1988, as @Obelixx says. They get congested, and you get loads of foliage, and not many flowers. If you dig some out you'll see the growth habit of the little corms.  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
