Planting Anemone blanda
- Plant these bulbs in fall.
- For best results, soak the corms in a bowl of water for 3 hours before planting.
- These bulbs should be planted in humus- rich, well-drained soil.
- Plant them 8 cm (3 in) deep and 5 to 8 cm (2 to 3 in) apart. Plant them on their edge if you’re not sure how to plant them.
- Water thoroughly after planting.
Growing Anemone blanda
- These bulbs look good planted in groups at the base of trees or in wooded areas.
- Plant in groups of fifteen or more bulbs which then appear more natural.
- Also look great when planted at the front of borders or rock gardens.
Care Anemone blanda
- These bulbs require frequent watering until they come into flowering. Once flowering, they should be lightly watered.
- Drier conditions are tolerated in summer when the plant is dormant.
Winterizing Anemone blanda
- After flowering, the leaves should be allowed to die down. The leaves will gather sunlight and provide nourishment for next year’s show.
- It is helpful to fertilize the bulbs through winter and also as the foliage dies down in spring.
- These bulbs come back year after year.
