Anemone De Caen Collection (25 bulbs)

Planting & Care Instructions

Anemones are charming spring- to early summer-flowering bulbs ideal for garden borders, pots and cut flower arrangements. Low-maintenance and winter-hardy, they produce vibrant blooms year after year when provided with suitable growing conditions.

• Planting time: Plant the bulbs in autumn, from September to December, before the ground freezes. Flowering time generally occurs from May to June.
• Preparation: Soak the bulbs in water for 10–12 hours before planting to help break dormancy and encourage root growth.
• Position & soil: Choose a sunny position or partial shade. Plant in loose, well-drained soil. Avoid areas where water tends to collect.
• Planting depth & spacing: For standard anemone bulbs, size 5/6 cm, plant approximately 3–5 cm deep and 10 cm apart.
• Watering: Water moderately after planting, especially when the soil is dry. Additional watering during autumn is usually unnecessary. Avoid waterlogged soil.
• Growing in containers: Use pots or balcony boxes with drainage holes and a well-drained potting mix. Bulbs can be planted slightly closer together than in garden beds.
• After flowering: Remove faded flowers, but allow the foliage to remain until it naturally turns yellow and dies back. This allows the bulb to store energy for the following season.
• Returning each year: Anemones are winter-hardy perennials that naturally return and bloom for many years when conditions are suitable.
