How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water your crocosmias once weekly during the growing season, so the soil remains evenly moist. Remove spent blooms to encourage new blooms. Cut the stems back to where they meet the leaves. After blooming is over, keep the leaves so that the plant can put its energy back into its bulb for next summer's blooming.
Pruning
The plant doesn’t require pruning,
Fertilizer
Feed after initial planting or in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer formulated for bulbs and tubers.
