I grow C. Solfatare without any problem.  I love the colour of the foliage and the
flowers are a beautiful soft apricot yellow.  I have found that it is happier in partial
shade than in full sun and has proved (for me) to multiply reasonably quickly. 
 
Gene, I've had no trouble with the foliage on any of my Crocosmias.
