Planting Instructions
When to Plant Crocosmia
Plant in the Spring, after the danger of frost has passed. If temperatures are still cool in your area, wait to plant until it warms up. Crocosmias need heat and warmth to get them going, otherwise they can be slow to sprout.
Where to Plant Crocosmia
Find a location with well-draining soil and where they'll receive full sun. If there is standing water 5-6 hours after a hard rain, Crocosmia will not survive in soggy soil or standing water. The soil can be amended with the addition of organic material, such as peat moss, compost, or decomposed manure. It's best to raise the level 2"-3" to improve the drainage.
How to Plant Crocosmia
Plant the corms 3" deep and 6" - 8" apart. Place them with the pointy end facing up.
After planting, water generously to settle the soil around the corms. Roots and sprouts will form in a few weeks, depending on soil temperatures.
How to Care for your Crocosmias
After blooming has ended for the season, leave the foliage and don't cut it off. Allow the leaves to gather sunlight and provide nourishment for next year's blooms. Continue to water as needed and remove leaves when they turn yellow.
Your crocosmia will rest for a few months before beginning the next growing cycle in spring.

Gorgeous!
I have grown Lucifer Crocosmia bulbs years ago, and cannot wait to grow them again! They are hardy, beautiful and produce gorgeous red flowers all summer until frost! They last for days in cut arrangements and add a great texture to arrangements.

Fabulous Flowers
I planted these a little late in 2015 and they grew foliage but no flowers.
This year they grew to be 3'-4' high and the blooms were all I could have wished for.
