Perfect for containers or patio gardens! If planting in containers, plant 2-3″ deep, but no deeper than 1/3 the depth of the container. Plant with the pointy part of the corm up. Use a well drained potting media. Drainage does not have to be perfect; when vigorously growing they like moisture and a little moisture retention by the media is not bad. They do not like to sit in saturated soils. Drought tolerant once established. Excellent cut flower. Crocosmia often takes a year or two to get established. Once it has settle in, it will become a robust plant that gets larger each year.
