About two months ago I bought a package of 20 little Crocosmia 'lucifer' corms at a general store. They seemed too good of a deal not to buy them, so I did. I planted them right away per 3 in 1l pots in some general purpose potting soil and stored them in my basement with the thought to take them outside once the growth appeared. After two weeks nothing happened, so I carried them upstairs to the living room in hopes that the higher temperature would warm the soil and get them going faster. Eventually I just took them outside and left them there.
Now after all these weeks, 2 out of 20 have sprung a leaf above the surface. I dug around in some other pots, but saw no signs of life; no roots whatsoever.
Either they're taking WAY longer than I expected, or the quality of the corms is so damn poor. Is it normal for Crocosmia to take this long to sprout? The two that do have a leaf above soil also seem to grow very slow. Not what I expected given that people refer to them as invasive, a weed, very easy to grow etc
