Growing Crocosmia Bulbs

Plant crocosmia bulbs in spring after the final frost date. Choose a site with full sun or partial shade and fertile, well-draining soil. Set bulbs 2–3 inches deep and space them 6–8 inches apart to allow for clump expansion over time.

Climate and Soil Requirements

Hardy in USDA zones 6–9, crocosmia requires a sunny spot and well-drained soil. In colder zones, apply mulch in fall for winter protection. Avoid overly wet soils to prevent bulb rot.

Sunlight and Watering

Provide consistent moisture during the growing season but avoid waterlogging. Once flowering ends, reduce watering and allow foliage to die back naturally to nourish the bulbs for the next season.

Care and Maintenance

Deadhead spent blooms to encourage extended flowering. Divide clumps every few years in early spring or fall to prevent overcrowding and promote vigorous growth.

Guarantee

We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
