Dried Crocosmia

daniele749 · September 2019

I have crocosmia that is at the end of its cycle and would like to use the stems and seed pods as a dried arrangement. Are there any tricks to how to go about it without destroying the plant?

Simply cut the stems with secateurs. If you leave the leaves then the plant will not be harmed. All you are doing is dead-heading it!

They're hard to kill so don't worry

Just do as @Alan Clark2 in Liverpool describes.
