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.

Growing crocosmia plants adds a splash of vibrant colour to your garden. These perennials produce striking, sword-like foliage and tall flower spikes with bright, fiery blooms. They are relatively low-maintenance, drought-tolerant, and attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, enhancing the biodiversity of your garden.

Where can you grow Crocosmia Plants?
