Love Crocosmia but my word how much do they spread!! Was thinning them out today and sometimes it felt like weeding ☺

@kathd they certainly can be invasive - though our cultivated ones much less so than the wild versions in the west country. Regular lifting should keep them in check or even using a plastic barrier, as you would for bamboo but less deep
