droopy crocosmia

[stopusingmynicknames]

I have a huge clump of crocosmia in my garden. I love the flowers, but there is far, far more leaves than flower, and the entire plant has fallen face down! is this normal? Do I need to support it, or is it the weight of all the leaves (some of which are dead) pressing down which makes it collapse?
It is partly under a tree, and I wondered if the plant has drooped itself in order to gain the direct sunlight, iyswim.
any suggestions would be grand. I don't want to pull the whole thing up, but it's taking up valuable space in a small bed and I want the flowers to earn their keep!

Crocosmia is a real pain in the arse. Ime you have to hack the clump to bits every year and get rid of loads or I'd does just flop and look shit. I've decided it's coming out of my garden altogether in the autumn tidy.

Thanks Methe! yes, I was planning to hack it in the autumn to see if that helps. I do like the flowers though!

it might be too congested, or it might not have enough sun. i support my taller variety with sticks and bits of string placed throughout.
