Anemone Growing Guide

Planting Anemone

Plant in spring after the last frost.
If you cannot plant your bulbs and perennials right away, store them in a cool, dry, dark location, like a basement.
For best results, soak the corms in a bowl of water for 3 hours before planting.
Plant them 8 cm (3 in) deep and 5 to 8 cm (2 to 3 in) apart. Plant them on their edge if you’re not sure how to plant them.
Water thoroughly after planting.

These bulbs require frequent watering until they come into flowering. Once flowering, they should be lightly watered.
These flowers last a long time as cut flowers, making them popular for arrangements and bouquets.

After flowering, the leaves should be allowed to die down. The leaves will gather sunlight and provide nourishment for next year’s show.
For newly planted bulbs, provide a winter mulch of evergreen boughs or salt marsh hay after the ground freezes to help prevent heaving.
