    Plant them whenever you like, they're indestructible.

    What Crocosmia Corms are they ? As some are more evasive than others in my experience

    I like the idea of an evasive crocosmia

    I understand that Emily McKenzie is not at all hardy, but very delightful.

    Some are "evasive", some are definitely invasive.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Some are Lucifer the others are shorter and orange in colour

    There's the common Montbretia, which may be what you have, and Lucifer is also fine. Crocosmias are tough. They'll be fine to plant just now as long as your ground is suitable.  :)

    Not sure where you are @cowslip, but E.McK is very hardy here, and we don't exactly have a balmy climate  ;)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



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