I had the same idea, but the iris crowded out the Crocosmias. You may say
"Crocosmia in Utah? They must have froze to death!", but I have them
planted elsewhere in my garden and they seem to be able to survive our
winters without difficulty (although we have not had a real "Polar Special"
since I have planted them).
