@ Fairygirl - is the crocosmia you're thinking of 'Solfaterre'? Smaller than the rest, with a bronzy tint to the foliage? I've got a small clump in a pot that I dug up last year, MUST REPLANT TODAY!
it is also less invasive, and more tender than most.
..I wish my Crocosmia's would spread a bit more. I have one called 'Zeal Tan' which is a strong orange/red colour, quite hot.... bit like our Fairygirl there..
If you buy crocosmia as dry corms in a bag they need to be soaked overnight...... that is the only way you will get them to grow. When you plant them water them in very well too.

Doesn't ring a bell fig. I like 'Emily McKenzie' but I think the one I'm thinking of might be 'Citronella'.

Hi guys........

If you all want to know more about crocosmia, check out last night's GW, Carol did a feature on them!
