You might have a bad one.
I bought a bag of mixed crocosmias - one of those bags of imported
bulbs that get sold in garden centres. One of them multiplied
prodigiously but never bloomed. I managed to remove all of it but
some crept into the neighbours and is still there, spreading around,
still not blooming. It's been not blooming for about 30 years.
Buy some named ones. All of my named ones bloom just fine.
I do have to water them, so I have them all growing in one area to
make watering easy.
