Planting & Care

When & Where to Plant

Plant in autumn in full sun or partial shade, ideally beneath deciduous shrubs or at the front of a border. Choose humus-rich, well-drained soil.

Preparing & Planting the Corms

Soak the dry corms in lukewarm water for a few hours before planting.
Plant 5cm deep and approximately 15cm apart.
The irregular corms do not have an obvious top; planting them on their side is suitable.

Variety-specific Advice

Soak the dry corms for several hours before planting. Anemone blanda gradually forms low spring colonies and is particularly useful beneath deciduous shrubs, where it receives light in spring and shade later in the season.

After Flowering

Allow foliage to die back naturally. In suitable soil, plants gradually spread into attractive spring colonies.
