montbretia 'Cornish Copper'

Plant 8-10cm deep in fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained and preferably sandy soil in full sun or partial shade; in colder areas plant somewhere with shelter from cold drying winds, such as near a wall, and protect in winter with a thick, dry, organic mulch; if clumps become congested, divide them in early spring. May be a nuisance in some gardens if not managed well

No pruning required, except removal of dead leaves and flower stems in autumn or before new growth starts in spring

Propagate by division of established clumps in spring, just before new growth starts

May be susceptible to glasshouse red spider mite

Generally disease free
