    Hello and welcome. I have two groupings of crocosmia down by my gazebo in the ground next to the two bolders, the hummers like them. They are done for the year. Would not say I have a passion for them, they are nice there. Too many plants to have passion for one kind. That is a lot of pots to have, where do you keep all the pots?
