Growing Anemones
✿ Plant the flowers in October, so that they bloom by May-June. Anemones take some time to establish, but once they do, it’s hard to eradicate them. The bulbs should be soaked overnight before planting. Plant them at least 2 – 3 inches deep into the ground.
✿ The plants grow really well in loamy soil with good drainage. Avoid excess water, as the bulbs may decompose due to water logging. Use peat moss, compost, or decomposed manure to fertilize them.
✿ They require a balance of sunlight and shade. Planting them in harsh sunlight may result in lighter colors. Deadheading the plants will give them a tidy appearance.
✿ When the plant slips into dormancy, you can remove the foliage.
Care-free maintenance and bright flowers that can instantly cheer anyone make anemone one of the best options for a garden. There are so many species of this attractive plant available, that you are sure to find the one which suits well with the climate and soil you have.
