Crocosmia (Crocosmia X crocosmiiflora) kuulub iirise perekonda, mis on Aafrika native. Roostevabastest kormustest kasvatab krokosmia vabalt, moodustades kuni 3 jalga pikkade mõõgaratu lehtede kimbud, millel on pikkad oranžid, punased või kollased tuharilised lilled, mis on koertele väga atraktiivsed. Ameerika Ühendriikide põllumajandusministeeriumi mitmeaastane taimekasvatuse tsoonide 6-9 puhul peetakse mõnes piirkonnas invasiivset mulla- ja seemneid kiiresti taastumas.

Crocosmia kormide istutamine

Crocosmia koorikutel on paisunud maa-alused varred, mis hoiavad toitu taime jaoks. Nad reprodutseerivad kiiresti ja sageli leiavad nad suurtes tükeldustes. Eraldage mugulad, lihtsalt keerake need ära. Istutades asetage iga korm 2 tolli sügavale ja 3 tolli vahele, kusjuures silmade "bull-eye" tähis on ülespoole. Kui pullide silm ei ole nähtav, võite taimeda korm oma küljel ja see on õige ise, kui see juhib.

Crocosmia eest hoolitsemine

Crocosmia eelistab täis päikest valguse varju ja rikkaid, hästi kuivendatud pinnasesse. Nad näevad välja parimad istutatud massid ja tuleks istutada kevadel suvel õitsemine. Nad vajavad korrapärast vett (vähemalt tolli nädalas) kogu kasvava ja õitsengu jooksul. Igal taimel on võimalik toota 8 kuni 10 aiaga kuni 4 nädala pikkust õlistust, kuid ka crocosmia teeb suurepäraseid lõikelillede. Iga 4 kuni 5 aasta järel tuleb tükid üles kaevata ja jagada või need lõpetavad õitsengu.

Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora

Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora, mida nimetatakse ka Montbretiaks, loodi kahe Lõuna-Aafrika põliselaniku, Crocosmia aurea ja Crocosmia pottsii kaudu. Torulillid on punased, oranžid või kollakad, mis asetsevad kaunviljadele, mis on kolumbi ja muude lindude jaoks väga atraktiivsed. Montbretia on mitmekülgne hübriid ja seda on kasutatud paljude teiste kaunite hübriidide loomiseks.

Crocosmia hübriidid

Kõige populaarsemate crocosmia hübriidide seas on mõned märkimisväärsed. Crocosmia "Emily McKenzie" on punase kurguga apelsiniõiel ja Crocosmia "Citronella" omab erkkollaseid õisikuid; mõlemad kasvavad umbes 2 meetri kõrguseks. Tõeline väljapaistvam ja jõulisem kultivar on Crocosmia "Lucifer", millel on kuni 4 jalga kõrgete varrade varre punased lilled.

FAQ - 💬

❓ When should crocosmia be planted?

👉 Crocosmia corms should be planted in spring after all danger of frost is gone. If conditions are cool or soil temperature is cold, delay the planting until the soil has warmed up. Plant your Crocosmia corms 2-3 in. deep (5-8 cm) and space them 6-8 in.

❓ Is crocosmia a bulb or corm?

👉 Crocosmias grow from corms and can be planted like bulbs. Dig a generous hole, about 7-10cm deep and add a spadeful of well-rotted compost or other organic matter. Plant a handful of corms a few centimetres apart so you start out with a reasonable clump, and cover with soil.

❓ Is Montbretia illegal in UK?

👉 Montbretia is listed under Schedule 9 to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 with respect to England and Wales. As such, it is an offence to plant or otherwise allow this species to grow in the wild - yet is is still widely available to buy!

❓ Can you leave crocosmia bulbs in the ground?

👉 Because they are more cold hardy than other summer-blooming bulbs, you can usually leave them in the ground over winter. Cover them with a layer of mulch to insulate them from severe cold snaps. However, if you live in Zone 4 or below, lift the corms, store them in a cool, dry location, and replant them in the spring.

❓ Does crocosmia flower in first year?

👉 Crocosmias are quick and easy to plant, either as dormant corms (similar to bulbs) or as containerised plants in full growth. They should flower in their first year, and for many years to come. Before planting, improve the soil by digging in lots of organic matter, such as well-rotted garden compost or manure.

❓ How deep should I plant crocosmia corms?

👉 In early spring, plant crocosmia corms about 10-15cm (4-6in) apart and 10cm (4in) deep. They are best planted in light, well-drained soil. On heavy soil, you'll need to add plenty of grit to the planting holes.

❓ Will crocosmia bulbs bloom the first year?

👉 Crocosmias are quick and easy to plant, either as dormant corms (similar to bulbs) or as containerised plants in full growth. They should flower in their first year, and for many years to come.

❓ How do you store crocosmia corms in the winter?

👉 The corms are hardy and rarely need to be lifted for winter except in areas below USDA Zone 5. In these areas, plant them in pots and then move the pots to a sheltered location for winter storage. You can also dig them up, dry the bulb, and store them where temperatures are moderate over the freezing period.

❓ What's the difference between Montbretia and Crocosmia?

👉 Crocosmia and montbretia are the same plant, which also goes by the name coppertip in the USA. Some gardeners choose to refer to the popular garden varieties such as 'Lucifer' as as crocosmia, and the invasive species Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora as montbretia.

❓ Why is Montbretia now called Crocosmia?

👉 Crocosmia used to be known as Montbretia, but this is no longer considered to be its correct name. The name 'Crocosmia' comes from the Latin 'croceus', which means 'saffron-coloured'.

❓ What do you do with crocosmia in the winter?

👉 Crocosmia. Cut back flowering stems to near ground level in November, but leave evergreen foliage to provide winter protection – removing it in early March. In cold gardens, lift corms in October.
