Product description
Anemones should be planted at least 3-5cm deep and no less than 10cm apart. It is highly recommended that you soak the bulbs in water for one day prior to planting. While they do not object to partial shade, they thrive best when planted in an area with plenty of access to sun. The richer the soil, the more flowers each corm will produce. They are an excellent choice for borders or rockeries, but can also be grown in pots or containers provided they are not given any heat.
Hardly any flower can compare with the endless variety of shades produced by these flowers. Care should be given to ensure that there is good drainage as these corms are very sensitive to dampness. They are a fantastic choice as they will naturalise and multiply quickly over the years. All anemones are perfectly hardy and are ideal subjects for cut flowers, borders and rockery displays.

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.
