Crocosmia

To decorate your garden with bright flowers, you should take into account the flowering period of the plants. The best option is if some types of flowers replace others. So, in July and August, crocosmia, characterized by light green foliage and bright red or orange flowers, can become a luxurious accent in the garden.

Select a site and carry out planting according to the recommendations specified in the section. When choosing a planting site, keep in mind that crocosmia likes to be grown in a bright area without stagnant moisture in the soil. The soil must be well fertilized, so the site is prepared in the fall by adding humus, superphosphate, slaked lime, etc. Immediately before spring planting, nitrogen fertilizer will be required.

Care, feeding, watering are the main rules of care. The plant grows from bulbs, which are dug up for the winter, dried a little and left in a cool place until next spring. If you follow all the rules, crocosmia will delight you with its brightness and magnificent appearance for many years.
