Dunno DD, I still only have one stalk after 2 years! I have just ordered 3 Paul's Best. Apparently it has the same habit as this and Lucifer, upward facing flowers so you can see the whole..racime (?). It is also said to be vigorous. Come back in 2 years and I will let you know lol! Btw this is what I thought was Solfatare, what a boo boo! I should have known it hadn't changed the leaf colour..still, that one went by the board also so I'm not the best person to advise you LOL

Very pretty Tet, crocosmia grow like weeds here:-)

Well most do here BA, but I seem to have lost Solfatare and Jackanapes.

Yes, having said that, I too lost Solfatare a couple of years ago, had it for years though. Not sure about Jackanapes as so many look similar. My biggest weed is Lucifer and an orange one which even grows profusely in my bog garden. They travel all over my garden. I always intend dead heading, but the seedheads look rather attractive ... then it's too late. Spritz has loads of my Lucifers:-))

This is a great tip I learned years ago...I just open my mouth and scream lots of unintelligible (and probly rude) words..then everyone says I've lost it! Could work....
