Top Tip
Crocosmia thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Divide clumps every 3-4 years to prevent overcrowding and promote better blooming.
How to Water
Water Crocosmia regularly during the growing season, especially during dry spells. Ensure the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Once established, they are drought-tolerant but still benefit from occasional watering.
How to Plant
Plant Crocosmia in well-drained soil, 7-10cm inches deep, and space them 15-30cm apart. Choose a sunny spot to ensure strong blooms. Plant in early spring, after the last frost, to give them time to establish before flowering.
