Anemone 'De Caen' Mix

• Plant generously in bold swathes for the ultimate spring display of flowers. Contrasts beautifully with snowdrops.
• Pre-soak tubers in water overnight before planting to help them get started, and they will start to grow much more quickly.

• Plant the pre-soaked tubers 5-8cm (2-3in) deep and 15cm apart in light, sandy soil in a sunny, protected site
• Corms can be started off in pots and transferred into the garden when all risk of frost is passed
• Site your anemones where they will receive full to half day sun
• After planting, water anemones well to settle the soil around the corms
• When blooming has finished for the season don't cut off the foliage - the leaves are needed to store energy for the winter
• Water as needed during active growth periods and feed with a general-purpose fertiliser every 2 weeks while in active growth
• At the end of the summer the leaves will yellow and die back and the plant goes into dormancy - leaves can be removed at this point. Your anemones will rest for a few months before starting into growth again
• Leave them in the ground once they die back – they’ll come back bigger and better each year, just cover with a mulch of well-rotted manure or compost to protect against extreme winter weather
• Plant in herbaceous borders, in pots, or leave in the ground to naturalise
• If planted in pots be sure to water frequently and keep moist

Our experienced team at the nursery will always carefully package and send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive once you receive and plant them. Although most plants are extremely tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme of weather conditions, we always avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme frosts or heat is forecast. We also avoid dispatching orders over Bank Holiday weekends.

We send most of our orders via a fully tracked courier service with Yodel. We will send you a tracking link as soon as your order has been dispatched.
