where is my crocosmia?

I planted some crocosmia 'Lucifer' bulbs from Aldi earlier this year. The other Aldi bulbs are doing brilliantly, but no sign of the crocosmia. Should I expect it to be showing above ground yet?

My crocosmia Lucifer are about 18- 24 inches tall, I can see them from the window...

mine have vanished too. I planted loads - can't remember where form, and there is no sign of them Sad Confused

I planted crocosmia from poundstretcher a few years back; the first year, nothing, the second year they grew! Now I can't get rid of the bloody things...

Mine took ages to get established. They didn't do anything the first year, then kept coming up blind and I almost pulled them up in frustration but now they have taken over half the garden. Yours might be doing the same!

Cross posted with you Mairzy! I'm toying with the idea of thinning mine out a bit...
