Loved this video - so comprehensive and beautifully presented. Thank you!

[@NashvilleLandscaping]

I subscribed to your channel because of this very informative video about Crocosmia. Thank you.

[@Corntassels]

This was a great video. I loved seeing the different varieties and colors. Here in the US, I'm used to just Montbretia and Lucifer. I really loved that yellow one! I came for a refresher on how to divide them in the fall and got more than expected. Thanks!

Good Information. I began growing crocosmia Lucifer this year, as I found the bulbs in a discount basket for just one dollar American. I bought them all as the bulbs appeared to be in excellent condition. Now I'm hooked. Did not know of other varieties, thanks on that one. Most educational on the division of clumping too. BTW you have great taste in music.

[@mjflick1465]

excellent, seen this plant for the first time this year... and I love it!

[@singingslowly6218]

Thank you so much! This was very helpful. The house we bought has a large number of crocosmias under a window & I was planning to thin them out. I might use the ones I dig out with some shorter ones & plant them in a pot in my backyard so we can watch hummingbirds feed from them when we sit out in the summer.

Good video thanks. I loved the way he chopped straight through those leaves and ripped apart the clumps.

[@deannav850]

High quality video. Beautiful contrasting flower selections and an informative video on Crocosmia - now I know what to do with the ones that keep falling over. Thank you very much!

[@JohnofDublin]

Brilliant guide to a great plant variety, thanks. Our Montbretia even does great at side of house which can be very windy and tends to just get sun in morning and evening.

[@theresahambro6523]

Thanks for a great video and wonderful easy to understand information about a lovely plant.

[@clematis1212]

This was really helpful - thank you! It definitely gave me a better idea of where I should place the crocosmia corms I just ordered.

[@donnamadonna9746]

Excellent!!

[@annmariebowring3897]

Really interesting video and well made, thanks.

[@cheriegranger9032]

Was given one as a gift. Such an interesting plant and sweet looking!

[@ashleyartus1193]

Wow. Thank you so so much. Fascinating... Thanks for your passion and superb video. It's my first time growing Crocs this year...got a lucifer in a pot...long upright pot...the leaves are so strong it likes its place. East sussex out front partial full sun/ shade. Its very strong...looking forward to seeing those flowers...and now, of course, I'm obsessed with them. Thanks again..x

[@angelgardener2748]

What an informative video and so very beautiful.

[@debmking65]

Perfectly informative and very helpful. Thanks

[@user-iv9yu7by1f]

It would be lovely to see how the crocosmia looks in you border with other plants.

[@rosewalker3575]

Excellent presentation!

[@soloflame12791]

Thanks. Great video.

[@JermaineGertse]

I have seen these frow in the wild in south africa... Along a river... en masse.. was actually very spectacular

[@luckwagon]

Nicely done.

[@hasmukhpatel7972]

Very useful thanks

[@redfaux74]

I've been growing these Luci-Crocos for a few years. Can I plant the seeds? If so, how long will it take for them to grow? Thanks SO much for the video! It was a great help.

[@JermaineGertse]

Can see the South African plants trend... Is that Eucomis and Agapanthus in the background on the floor... Good on you... I havent seen a pineappls lily before... Im growing some Gazanias and Agapanthus now here in Cape Town... Its so easy for me here... just pop the plants in. I hardly even have to take care of them.

[@warriorprincessphl]

Great video and I never knew there are so many varieties of Crocosmia -- they are all so beautiful. My crocosmia plants always flop over. Do I need to replant them deeper? Is that necessary or is the "flopping over" typical for this top heavy plant? I love them but it kills me every year to see them laying on the ground. Thanks!

[@warriorprincessphl]

ok.. nevermind, I wrote this midway through the video -- good tip, I will replant them in a few weeks!

[@jeffquinn5653]

Thanks for all the helpful information. Very well done.

[@hasmukhpatel7972]

Thanks

[@mammabunnyrabbit]

Can I collect the seeds for planting next year? I can only see they seem to grow from bulbs but have so many seeds.

[@carenallen5841]

Do hummingbirds like these flowers

[@BudERHicks]

Excellent video. I planted Lucifer Corcosmia last year after I saw a photo.This beautiful flower is growing vigorously in North East Texas. Question what is the name of the 1st blue flower shown that can be planted with the Corocosmai? Sorry, I couldn't understand the accent.

[@bobbeorn]

Agapanthus

[@judy4justice]

I have some crocosmia bulbs and some Babiana bulbs.Will they do well planted together?

[@anthonygiarrusso4312]

If I plant the corms in early spring will I get blooms in the summer

[@paulgriffin2790]

Gr888 content, but I found it little dark, so couldn't see the different types too well.

[@vanschermerhorn7167]

What Website to use to have a good selection and when to buy and when to plant ?

[@rickcowles416]

Can Lucifer be an indoor plant?

[@swamibeyond6382]

vwery good

[@Ellofez]

Do the arching crocosmia need staking ? And they only bloom once right?

[@sjay6668]

Hi. I came by your video especially to look for info re pests. Something munched the whole lot today overnight. I am uk based. Can anyone help? Nobody seems to cover this subject.

[@stevewoodworth2989]

Good informative video, but annoying music in the background.

[@rosgembrun]

Why are all of the crocosmia tutorials in British English?

[@elizabethhutchinson4451]

I have a Lucifer and the deer eat the flowers 😢

[@paddyhughes3598]

no music please

[@John4749]

A good video but found the background music a bit distracting.......maybe it is just me.l

[@zumpafust]

Squirrels eat their bulbs

[@lisannrolle9850]

Deer eat my Lucifer flowers.

[@wendyfahmie7608]

I found this video very helpful indeed. Thank you for posting it!
