Planting Season

• Spring Planting: Plant Crocosmia corms in the spring after the last frost, typically from March to May.
• Fall Planting: In regions with harsh winters, plant in early fall, about 6-8 weeks before the first expected frost, which is typically from September to October.

• Fertilize your Crocosmia plants in the spring with a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer to promote healthy growth and blooming. Follow the package instructions for application rates.

• Crocosmia can be propagated through division. Divide mature clumps every few years in the spring to ensure vigorous growth.

Pest and Disease Control
