We inherited a big garden which had Crocosmia 'Lucifer at the back of the border'. They flowered beautifully but then the weight of them caused them to lean forward and fall to the ground.
having no idea of planting I cut them right back down to the bottom of the stem with a view to replanting to get them to stand up straight.
will they grow back?! I've read forums now that say to just leave them as they are leaves and all!

I wonder if it takes long to get a plant from the seed it produces?
I collected it, but wonder if it's worth sowing?
I love the seedheads, so pretty. I have left mine and just removed the dead leaves.

I collected seeds from mine two years ago and had some flowers this Summer. They need to mature a bit but I was tickled pink.
