Crocismia Lucifer is much taller than the Orange montbretia (anyone know the difference between montbretia/crocosmia?). And Lucifer can flop too - I put supports in.
I have both Verdun. Lucifer was bought from the garden centre and the Montbretia was transplanted from my daughters garden. Neither are rampant in my garden. Well, not so far.
Don't know which mine are but will also check this summer Busy-lizzie. I love them but himself moans cos however far back in the borders I have them they flop over his lawn. They have multiplied and I dig loads up and move or give to my daughter.(I think she likes them) but the original planting always comes up, so I think they might be hard to eradicate.

I think the crocosmia flowers are on top and so are more showy and montbretia flowers are under the stem.
Ahhh thanks busy-lizzie I will look out for that this summer.
