Hi i have some cro-cosmia growing in the garden wich looks nice but i

why and how i change things for the better...gs...


It's probably an old and very crowded clump of corms. In autumn, dig
the clump up with a fork and gently pull them apart with your hands.
Throw out the tiny corms, and any old dead ones; save the biggest
fattest firmest ones. Replant them in some good soil, placing them about
4 " apart.

Janet.


Thanx for the advice Janet i will try that.........George.
