Is there a trick to growing this? I tried it when I was living in AL and it never bloomed for me. Of course, the fact that it was in part shade might have had something to do with it. :)

I have some cannas, spider lily bulbs (Lycoris radiata), glads (Black Jack, I believe) and daffs (not tropical OR exotic). :)

I would love some crocosmia, I have the following seeds:
Spinach
Broccoli
Pole Beans
Small Sugar Pumpkins
Large Pumpkins
Basil
Sweet Corn
Parsley
Winter Acorn Squash
Cabbage
Lettuce (mixed)
native persimmon
Red Poppies
Marigolds
Tall Sunflower
Cosmos (White or Purple)
red plum
native plum

I will have lavendar and rosemary plants in a few weeks.

Smilin- ours seem to be happy to have neglect tossed their way, LOL. They don't look super heathly but they bloomed last year in full sun and nearly pure sand soil.
Mum was holdin` out on me! I didnt even know we had these until a few days ago. LOL

Seems like I read somewhere they can tolorate partial shade and like good soil. Not sure though.

mortez, yours are stunning and give me hope.
Do they like to be fertilized?

smiln32 i would love some of your spider lilies thxs

jburesh i would love some rosemary

crimsontsavo mine does get fertilized when my hubby fertilizes the yard. mine is at my down spout of the house and in full hot scortching sun, i dont do anything to them but divid every few years and fertilze them,well hubby does that lol, and they multiply like weeds i have tons of them i need to trade. i hope to get them traded so you all can enjoy them like i have, i have some that is in mid day sun and well drained soil and they r multipling like weeds as well i dont know what i am doing to them to make them grow but really nothing lol i am looking for the emily mckinsey crocosmia if anyone has them to trade thxs

Hmm- if you still have a bunch after the Florala Swap (in April)- I'll see what I can get together to trade. I do have a yellow forsythia I need to trim this year- ifin` ya want some cuttings off it for some of your crocs.
Gotta wait til after the swap though- my heads all screwy lately. :-)

No problem Moretz. I have 7 plants started. I'm not sure how long I should let them grow. I've never mailed a plant before, so you may need to give me some pointers if you can. Save me some crocs. :)

What variety are the ones you have? I have several and they all grow like weeds here! In the sun and partial shade! I have a gold one and the red one, and traded for the "emily" on last fall. If they come up and do well you are welcomed to some of them. Just let me know later to check on them for you.

crimsontsavo
when is the florida swap? i still should have some left

jburesh
i should have plenty left,i would wait until it gets warmer since they are tender plants

JanetS
i dont know what kind they are sorry but i sure would love some of the "emilies' if they do good thxs for offering

No problem, I received them from two different swaps last year. I will see who sent them to me and if mine do not do well, maybe they will trade with you for some of theirs.

I think it is around the 3'rd of April. :-)

I have orange one would love some red and gold.
Hope I am not jumping in on someones swap. I love these and did not know there were so many different.

Thanks,
Sandy

Hiya, moretz--I'd be interested in trading w/you. Haven't tried crocosmia yet, so that's all I need to know! I have unusual kalanchoes (mot's--even flower!), pregnant onion, scented geraniums, variegated begonia semperflorens, all sorts of rex and cane begonias, walking iris, and a large number of AV leaves. Anyway, lmk if you're interested!

emailed you

ilovejesus99
no you arent i hope you get a trade

crimsontsavo
i will make sure i keep you some or i can send now and you can send mine later? plmk and thxs

Hey,

Let's hold off on any trades- I'm getting all mixed up lately- forgot to send some stuff off for another DGer- Need ta stop while I'm not too much under, LOL.

If you have some left after the swap I'd be happy ta trade ya forsythia or whatever I have that you want. If not- that's okay, we can wait til you need to divide them again.

Thanks alot!

How many colors are there?

one color tricolor

I have lots of the orange ones. They are just coming up and I am pulling them right and left! Would love some yellow or any other color. I'll take about anything but seeds. Would love some different cannas. I have the common orange and a yellow varigated. I'm easy. I'll go out and rescue the ones I pulled up today. They like the sun and to be left alone. Give them support because they are so heavy with blooms, they fall over and you can't see them. Soooo, whoever wants some let me know because it is spring break and it is a good time for me to mail. ruthm

If you still have some left, I would like to have a few. I have lots of plants, bulbs........if you have something in mind, let me know and I'll see if I have it. I do have a banana tree that has a baby; Aztec Lily, Sea Daffodil, daylilies, iris, hosta, ferns, lilies, and a lot more perennials. If you decide to trade, let me know. Thanks!

Deb
