Crocosmia
Thriving best in a humus-enriched soil, that does not dry out. Their bulbous roots will increase and flower freely unless overcrowded. Thus worth dividing in spring, replanting in fresh soil, in full sun or part shade. Flowering season is August - September, with a colour range of orange, yellow and red. Most hybrids are bred from two South African species, C. aurea and C. pottsii.
