This is kind of off-topic, but what is your favorite soil conditioning fertilizer? I've tried Bio-Magic on my veggie garden, but I don't know how happy I am with the results. Anyone have suggestions? Nice article.

Crocosmia is very hardy but if you are worried about it then I would suggest that you cover it with a 2-3 inch layer of mulch - compost or bark chippings would do fine.<br><b>References : </b><br> It should be fine left where it is.

Crocosmia IS a perennial, but in areas it can be considered a "tender perennial". It all depends on how cold it gets in your area. -10 to 0* F or -25 to -18* C is what they can tolerate. I am from the US so I do not know what your hardiness zones are there. If it gets colder then that I would suggest that you dig them up and put them someplace cold, but a place they will not freeze, and replant them when you can work the ground in the spring. Best of luck, from one gardener to another :-)<br><b>References : </b><br>Hardiness temps came from AHS Great Plant Guide Hi, I have read the answers you have received and I agree and disagree.

In the spring new shoots will grow, and with its vigorous growth, this will make a very large healthy plant next year. When it starts to get too big, split the roots with a sharp spade and relocate to a new spot.<br><b>References : </b><br>Landscape gardener for 20+ years.

Is your garden arranged with ornamental things that add a splash of color even in winter? by juncogirl3 http://www.flowerpotgardenersbelfast.com/garden-advice/winter-gardens-is-your-garden-arranged-with-ornamental-things-that-add-a-splash-of-color-even-in-winter/comment-page-1#comment-12 juncogirl3 Tue, 09 Dec 2008 21:35:59 +0000 http://www.flowerpotgardenersbelfast.com/gardeners-belfast/winter-gardens-is-your-garden-arranged-with-ornamental-things-that-add-a-splash-of-color-even-in-winter#comment-12 Plant sage. The sage plant will bush and become glorious in no time at all. It is now November and the weather here in N Michigan is very cold. The sage leaves will remain intact for most of the winter and I can cut fresh sage in the bitterest cold. The color of sage against the snow is awesome. That's about the only winter plant I have going outdoors. I also left my birdhouse gourds on the fence. I read an article that I could cure them by leaving them out in the winter. They look splendid on the fence. Also, I still have some pretty healthy catnip plants still going but they will be gone in a few more weeks. I leave my dried goldenrods rather than cutting down. They stick up out of the snow and the birds perch on them all winter. Since they attained about 5 feet, they will be available to the birds for most of the winter.<br><b>References : </b><br> Plant sage. The sage plant will bush and become glorious in no time at all.

They can be cut down to ground level now and mulched if there in a spot where hard frosts could be a problem. They will come back up in the spring all fresh and new again. Theres also a good chance they have spread making it much bigger this year. Hope this helps.<br><b>References : </b><br>Im a gardener.
