How to grow Crocosmia
Grow Crocosmia in moist, well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade and water when the top layers of soil are dry and lightly fertilize at the beginning of spring. As an African species, the Crocosmia can struggle through harsh winters, so it is recommended to mulch the soil around these plants before the first frost. Divide every three to five years to encourage better flowering, and prune spent flower chains as soon as you can to encourage abundant growth for longer.
