Watering

Keep soil evenly moist during active growth, drier once winter dormancy arrives

Fertilizing

Balanced crocosmia feed every three weeks from spring into midsummer

Pruning

No pruning required, except removal of dead leaves and flower stems before new growth starts in spring

Propagation

Propagate by division in early spring, just before growth starts

Growing

Plant 8-10cm deep in fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained and preferably sandy soil in full sun or partial shade; in colder areas plant somewhere with shelter from cold drying winds, such as near a wall, and protect in winter with a thick, dry, organic mulch. If clumps become congested, divide them in early spring. Has the potential to become a nuisance in some gardens if not managed well
