Could this be crocosmia?

Can anyone tell me if this is a crocosmia or something else? It looks a bit like the leaves I have at home but my mum says this has gradually been growing in her garden and doesn't know what it is. They are quite tall.

    Looks like a Crocosmia to me.
    Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.

    And me. If so it will soon flower so it can be confirmed.

    If it's newly planted, it might not flower this year. I got none last year and loads this.

    If you've had Crocosmia Lucifer in your garden boarders and removed or divided it, then it a good chance it's that. Great plant but a bit indestructible if you don't want it in your garden

    Definitely Crocosmia, they self seed and soon bulk up to a whole bunch of plants. Surprising for a bulbous plant
