These were escaping from their clump where I needed to plant things, so giving away what I thought were stragglers - but once I dug I found there were some really substantial chunks.
The main clump is crocosmia "Lucifer" which is a really beautiful tall perennial mid summer flowering bulb*. (The photos are of it in flower now.) Completely hardy in the UK - comes back and bulks up each year. Will spread slowly under the ground but doesn't seed or spread far, so quite well behaved.
Eye-burning bright red-orange flowers elegantly arranges on wiry stems. If you can keep them upright leave the seed heads standing for winter interest.
Wants full sun and damp soil (clay is fine, but maybe it would prefer better drainage though it definitely wants moisture in the summer).
I dug up a fair amount, so will split (within reason) to meet demand - you'll get a decent amount at least. Bulbs survive out of soil better than ordinary roots, but ideally you want to get it back in the ground fairly soon.
(botanists will probably complain it is technically a corm I think)
