Crocosmia bare root plants (Hatfield AL10)

Brought to me spontaneously by a friendly freecycler I'd love to plant them but I don't have time to deal with them. They are out of the soil and want to be back in soil as soon as possible, though growing from bulbs* I'm sure they will survive. You will want to plant them and water them or put them in pots and water them straight away.

Crocosmia I assume "Lucifer", which is a really beautiful tall perennial mid summer flowering bulb*. (The photos are of it in flower in my garden in a previous year.) 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).

Ideally collection on Saturday.

(*botanists will complain it is technically a corm not a bulb I think)
