    Verdun you're teaching me again.  I thought montbretia had it'd name changed to crocosmia.  At least I will know next timeimage

    Thank you Verdun and Steve, I will do that tomorrow. Phew! what a relief that they will will recover. They are in their 3th year now so were just coming into their own. There are Crocosmia Lucifer at the back and the slightly smaller Montbretia Babylon in the front. I think Babylon is a cross -crocosmia × crocosmiiflora -.not that that means much to me I call them Montbretia. image 

     

  • My crocrosmia have been sat on by my 1 and a half year old daughter. Two have snapped. Will they grow back? It's their first year

    ... Give a little feed and water if dry. image

    That's the crocosmias, not the daughter.  You can feed her but don't water - if she's dry that's good - particularly at that age image

  • Hahaha thanks guys! I was gutted seeing two of them snapped. One got away. Will they grow back and flower this year? I'll give them miracle grow at the weekend as I only watere them yesterday. It's lucky she's so cute. Couldn't be angry with her if I tried!

    I did a bit of research re Crocosmia and Montbretia and everything I read concluded that they were the same.
