Hey Sueone

Wonder why you cannot post photos?????????? strange isn't it!!
Emily McKenzie and i think you mean Solfatare......... Pretty Yellow flowers and dark foliage??
If i were you, i would bury them deeper............ A lot of people make the mistake of burying them at the top of the pot level............. Then they get frosted and rot!!
I would dig them up and bury them so the top of the pot level is 4 inches below soil level!! That way you will get a nice strong plant stem!!!

Yes people tend to think of crocosmia as those common orange ones and red lucifer etc.......... they dont know about nice ones like PEPPER, HARLEQUIN, THE PRINCE ETC ETC...........
I have around 240 varieties now............... you would love them!!!!!
Never heard of any scented ones................ but you never know i guess!!

Still not got a pic to click on..........

This pic is a species plant called Aurea............. Beautiful!!!
