Description

Few things are more rewarding than a garden full of spring colour, and Anemone 'St. Brigid' Mixed delivers that in spades. This wonderful mix of double-flowered anemones offers a cheerful carnival of colour just when the garden is waking up, and it couldn�t be easier to grow.

The finely cut foliage rises early, followed by ruffled blooms in a brilliant blend of shades. They're sturdy, weather-tolerant and absolutely packed with petals, adding depth and texture to borders and pots alike.

You can plant in autumn for earlier blooms or in spring for a slightly later display, either way, they�ll brighten up your garden from around May. They work beautifully dotted through borders, but also in containers too, where you can really enjoy the detail of each bloom. And because they�re great for cutting, you should always grow a few extra for the house.

Supplied as a mixed set of 50 bulbs, size 4/5.

Top Tips

If you want to store your bulbs over winter, then lift them before the first frost. Bulbs generally prefer to be stored dry.
Remove loose soil, carefully pull or cut off dead and dying leaves and leave to dry overnight. Dusting with fungicide will help keep the bulbs healthy.

Care Information

Your bulbs will enjoy a warm, sunny position, in fertile, free-draining soil. Heavy, clay soil can be improved by digging in 1-2 buckets of coarse sand per square metre.

To plant, dig individual holes for each bulb or a trench if you're planting in groups. Place bulbs in the holes without pushing down hard. Make sure the growing point is pointing upwards, then cover with soil.

Use the bulb as a guide and plant it two or three times its depth. Space them approximately two to three bulb widths apart.

Many bulbs are ideal for growing in patio containers, especially the more tender species, which can then be stored over winter.

Store the bulbs in dry paper bags or trays of almost dry sand in a frost-free place.
