PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS
HEIGHT: 12-18 in
LIGHT PREFERENCE: Full sun
STORAGE: If you aren’t planting anemones right away, corms can be stored in the bag they arrived them. Keep them in a cool, dry place until it is time to plant.
PLANTING TIME: In USDA Zones 7-10, anemones can be planted in autumn, and successfully overwintered with the protection of a hoop house or low tunnel. If corms are exposed to temperatures below 25°F, they can freeze and eventually rot. Protection from extreme cold temperatures is essential. In colder areas (USDA zones 6b and below) or in zones 7-10 who do not have a low tunnel or hoop house, plant out in late winter or early spring.
PREPARTION: Before planting, soak the corms for 3-4 hours in room temperature water. It is important to not oversoak the corms as they will rot. As the corms soak, they will plump up, growing in size.
Before planting, it is vital to prepare the growing area. We typically add a 2-3 inch layer of organic compost to the beds and work in a slow released fertilizer.
PLANTING: Plant corms 6 inches apart, at a depth of 2-3 inches – if you plant too deep, the flowers will struggle to come up. Plant the corms with the pointed end down. Once planted, soak the area with water, making sure that the water penetrates at least 10 inches deep.
