Planting and Growing Information
Plant Ferraria Crispa corms in well-drained, sandy to loamy soil, 3-5 inches deep and 6-8 inches apart in garden beds, or 1-2 inches deep in containers. This South African native thrives in full sun to partial shade and performs best in USDA zones 9a-11b. In colder regions (zones 3-8), lift corms after foliage dies back and store in a cool, dry place for winter protection. Water moderately during active growth, reducing irrigation as plants enter dormancy in late spring or summer.
