Planting and Growing Information
Plant Crocosmia 'Peach Melba' corms in spring after frost danger has passed, placing them 1 inch deep and 6-8 inches apart in well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish strong roots. Once established, this variety shows good drought tolerance. In colder zones (3-5), lift corms after the first frost, store in a cool, dry location over winter, and replant in spring. Expect prolific blooming from mid-summer through early fall.
