Choose a site with full sun or partial shade and fertile, well-draining soil. Set bulbs 23 inches deep and space them 68 inches apart to allow for clump expansion over time. Climate and Soil Requirements Hardy in USDA zones 69, 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.
