Crocosmia Plants FAQs

Take a look at some of the frequently asked questions we receive from those looking to buy Crocosmia Plants in the UK. You can contact our Customer Service Team or browse our general FAQs for further advice.

When to plant Crocosmia Plants

Crocosmia plants are best planted in the spring after the last frost, allowing them to establish roots during the growing season. However, they can also be planted in early autumn, giving them time to settle in before winter.

How to Plant Crocosmia Plants

To plant crocosmia, choose a sunny or partially shaded location with well-drained soil. Prepare the soil by adding compost or well-rotted manure. Plant the corms about 8-10 cm deep and 10-15 cm apart. Cover with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly. Mulching helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.

How long do Crocosmia Plants take to grow

Crocosmia plants typically take a few weeks to sprout after planting. They will grow and develop throughout the spring and summer, with flowering occurring from mid to late summer. Proper care, including regular watering and feeding, will promote healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
