Product description
A compact perennial with great naturalising woodland properties which are well suited to most woodland-style displays. The Anemone 'Dainty Swan' is a low maintenance herbaceous plant with deep dark green, serrated foliage which grows somewhat clumped beneath the tall slender stems which appear in Summer carrying pure white, semi-double, slightly nodding flowers with purple pink on the reverse-side of the petals.
Plant in moderately moist, humus-rich, well-drained soils and keep in full or partial sun. Maintain soil moisture and keep away from exposed or windy sites. Some mulching is recommended for areas with harsher Winters.
Please Note: Images are for illustrative purposes only and designed to be a representation of the item(s) being sold. Herbaceous plants die back below the soil in the Winter and may be supplied in their dormant state during this time. Fresh growth will be seen the following Spring.
Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Don’t be concerned if your anemone appears to die back at the end of the growing season. This is perfectly normal, and it will flower just as prolifically the following year.
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
Position anemones in full sun or partial shade in moist but well-draining soil. Plant as soon as possible after buying and water in well.
