Instructions
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.
