| Can crocosmia get rust? The leaves of this crocosmia look suspiciously like my garlic -- which had a crippling case of rust this year. In addition, the flowers look sort of shriveled. I don't think the plant is over- or under-watered.
Any ideas? FYI, garlic is in my vegetable garden, about 3 miles away from my home -- site of the sad-looking crocosmia. Thanks! |

| Yes, Crocosmia can get rust. The variety 'Lucifer' seems to be more susceptible than the common orange variety in my garden. Mike |

| What I see on many of these year after year is mites. Look at yours closely, maybe with a magnifier. Then you will be able to see what you have. |

| Well, evidently you're both correct. Close inspection found mites, leaves look exactly like rust. Thanks -- I always appreciate the help I get from forum folks. |
