Lucifer corms

I was given 5 crocosmia Lucifer corms, but it is early August….not spring.
Can I plant the corms in a large pot now or should I store them until spring?

Lucifer is a variety of crocosmia that is very easy to grow but when to plant depends on your climate. If winters get below 10 degrees then wait and plant in the spring. If you live in a mild winter climate you can plant the bulbs in summer or fall. Enjoy the fiery show from these bright orange/red bloomers. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
