When to plant crocosmia bulbs for a garden full of fiery blooms, according to experts

Crocosmia flowers in garden borders.

If you’re wondering when to plant crocosmia bulbs, you’ve probably already fallen in love with these fiery red blooms and their exotic, tubular-shaped flowers. But to reap the rewards of this late-summer bloomer, you need to plant them at the right time and in the right place. 

While you can plant crocosmia as growing plants in a container garden or as part of your garden border ideas, it’s often much cheaper to start from scratch and plant crocosmia corms instead. These underground stems are very similar to bulbs and will help to fill your garden with a burst of colour even when your other spring and summer flowering plants have faded.
