Hi Mark,
Thank you for your question! Yes, crocosmia can be successfully grown in Bend. (Crocosmia is actually listed in our Water-wise Gardening in Central Oregon guide: https://extension.oregonstate.edu/sites/default/files/documents/em9136.pdf ). You may consider adding some mulch to insulate for the winter.
Please reach out if you have further questions!
