Planting and growing information
Plant Crocosmia corms in spring after frost danger has passed, positioning them 3-4 inches deep and 6-8 inches apart in well-drained soil. They thrive in full sun to partial shade and prefer moderately fertile, humus-rich conditions. Keep soil evenly moist during the growing season. In colder regions, apply winter mulch for protection or lift corms after first frost for spring replanting. Divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor and flowering performance.
