Can Crocosmia grow in shade?

Likes. Crocosmias grow well in most soil types, but do best in soil that retains some moisture in summer. They prefer full sun, but also tolerate dappled or light shade.

Where do you put Crocosmia?

Crocosmia will survive in part shade but best flower production is obtained in full sun - except in hot summer climates where part shade will enable the flowers to last longer. Plant in fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil. Crocosmia do not enjoy hot, dry sites.
