Product description
Shallow bowl-shaped flowers in shades of red, blue-violet and white appear from March to April above the deeply divided, fresh green leaves. These pretty poppy-flowered anemones make charming cut flowers. They are ideal for a sheltered, sunny site.
Garden care: Plant pre-soaked tubers 5-8cm (2-3in) deep and 15cm apart in September or October in light, sandy soil in a sunny, protected site. Cover with a cloche or dry mulch to protect against extreme winter weather. If you want them to flower in summer, the tubers can be planted out in spring.

Top Tip
Don’t worry about which way up to plant anemone bulbs – the shoots will reach for the surface however they are planted.
How to Water
Water thoroughly when planting then moderately until established. After this, anemones only need to be watered during particularly dry spells. Take care not to over-water.
How to Plant
Soak anemone bulbs in water for a few hours before planting to help soften them and encourage faster growth. Choose a spot in full sun or partial shade with moist, well-draining soil and use a bulb planter or trowel to make holes around 5cm deep. Leave 5-15cm between holes. Place one bulb in each hole, cover with soil, firm down gently, and water in well.
