Crocosmia pottsii 'Princess'

Grow in fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. This species prefers moist soil and may be suitable for wet soils and as a marginal pond plant. Deep planting or use of a thick, dry, organic mulch will help plants to overwinter in colder areas. 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

May be susceptible to glasshouse red spider mite

Generally trouble free
