Could someone identify this?

Wish to safely transplant to new bed.

Crocosmia, tough as an old boot!

I wouldn't worry about transplanting it. It will soon find its way to
your new bed and just about everywhere else in your garden.

Well, that /is/ a bit of an exaggeration. There are some very
well-behaved Crocosmias, but there are some awfully invasive ones, too.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to say which is which until they flower,
and even then it may not be clear. Just keep an eye out for plants which
appear well away from the main clump.

Hard to kill, which makes it a great bedding plant in my view!

How do they spread? - seeds?
I wouldn't mind a few of these but obviously I'm not paying for them if the
seeds are viable

Too dry in my front garden, never flowered, always grew but then died early
before flowering. Grubbed it all out but difficult to get all the little
corms.
