Description: Only one species of anemone is suitable for growing in our climatic conditions namely florist's anemones. Doubles are known as St Brigid, the singles as De Caen. They are always sold separately. Single blooms usually have 6 petals and doubles 10 to 12 petals. Colours in both forms range from white to blue, red and mauve. Most have a contrasting centre colour. They are 5cm across and borne atop 20cm stems.
Planting Instructions: Anemones are seen to best advantage in a border. They may be grown in containers, provided that there is adequate drainage. The flowering time can be varied by planting in early or late autumn. Plant tubers with the pointed end downwards if it is discernible, otherwise on their side. Plant 8 to 10cm apart, covered by 2cm of soil. Well-drained sandy loam suits them best. Drainage must be good. A position that provides shade during the hottest part of the day is best.
Care: Anemones withstand frost well. The plants must be kept constantly moist at root level from planting-time onwards. Though, beware of waterlogging which leads to rotting of the corms. To check the water content, a moisture probe may be used. It is advisable to water well and deeply in the morning every four or five days.
