When to Divide Watsonia?

Growing Watsonias from Division
Division is necessary every few years or when the clump begins to reduce bloom formation. Dig up the clump in fall, cut it into several sections with healthy roots and corms and replant. Share the clumps with friends and family or dot them around your property.

When should I prune my Watsonia?

After blooming has finished, cut the flower stalks and leave the foliage to strengthen the bulb for next year. Water no more than 1" per week in hotter inland areas and less, or not at all in cooler summer areas along the coast. After weeks of eye catching late spring bloom, Watsonia will die back in early summer.
