Should the seed heads of Crocosmia 'Norwich Canary' be removed or left on over Autumn/Winter please?


On plant Crocosmia

You may find they will drop out and become self sown ones, or birds might eat them. I usually dead head my crocosmia so the corm builds up more for next year.
though they do look pretty when frosted.

I've deadheaded both my varieties of Crocosmia,Shirley,and just taken a bit of length off the tall 'Lucifer ' ones,so all the rest of the foliage will die down naturally now.
