Re: crocosmia mystery

I came across this website which has some good pictures and descriptions of different Crocosmia varieties and their history.  They also sell a few varieties:
 
 
I remember I had crocosmia and blackberry lily growing when I lived in Foresthill and loved them.  The blooms would stretch toward the sun - we had a heavily forested property and I planted them in the sunniest spot I had.  I had heavy clay soil there and only watered once a week.  I have found the crocosmia and blackberry lily both like a top dressing of compost once a year which helps them bloom better.  I only have the blackberry lily growing at this location, I will have to try a named variety of crocosmia again and see what success I have with it.
