I know it's an expensive way to buy Crocosmias, and I would normally grow them from corms, but I saw this at the B&W Show and loved it - my little pot has three stems and was half the price of the pot I saw before with two stems. So - it came home with me! :-))

Is it A. alpina, do you think? I have this - it's just like A. mollis, but smaller! AND it has seeded itself, so I shall be potting up babies any day soon! :-))

They do look lovely in the border, Grindle. I need a larger clump of them, though, so corms it will be.
