    The crosmia corms were tiny and shriveled. Not impressed

    Crocosmia Bulbs - Mix

    Store owner replied: Hello Tarana W. Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and we understand the concern when the dormant corms arrive that way. They naturally appear somewhat dry or wrinkled after storage, and size can vary, so appearance alone does not necessarily mean they are no longer viable. However, they should still feel reasonably firm rather than soft, hollow, or showing signs of rot. Please know you can always reach out to us, if you want us to look over your order upon delivery, so we can help you right from the start if needed. A mid-June planting in Zone 7 is later in the season and means the corms are trying to establish as summer heat arrives, which can make consistent moisture especially important while still maintaining good drainage. We are glad we were able to provide a resolution that you were happy with, and we hope your next planting gives you the healthy growth and beautiful display you were expecting!

    I didn’t get any blooms this season, but I’m hopeful for next year!

    We love crocosmia because they are deer resistant, but we can only get red blooms locally. These have blossoms that remind me of fire and blend nicely into our chaotic native garden. They do well in a place that gets less water and sun than other places, but they do tend to lean toward the light when it’s not bright and sunny.
