Anemone Bulbs FAQs
How to grow Anemone Bulbs
Aim to plant Anemone Bulbs as soon as possible upon arrival. If you need to store, leave the box open and keep in a cool, dark and dry space with good ventiliation.
Plant Anemone Bulbs in small and relatively shallow clusters,tip up, with only 5-10cm between each bulb and 5cm from the surface. Cover with soil and press down firmly.
Anemones require a decent amount of sunlight and a decent amount of watering in well-drained soil. Taller varieties should receive wind protection.
Once your flowers have finished, leave the blooms and foliage to die back naturally before removing. Leaving the foliage for as long as possible puts more nutrients back into the bulb for better flowering the following year.
How to Pronounce Anemone Bulbs
Anemone. This is how you say it; Ah-NEM-oh-nee. Its name is famously tongue-twisty. It grows in a cup or a daisy-like formation, with a dark centre and a variation of brightly coloured petals, from vivid violet, rich red, or even pale and peachy.
Types of Anemone Bulbs
Anemones have so many variations in shape and colour that they could easily dress a garden all by themselves, and blend in with practically any prepared palette!
De Caen anemones are a well-known mix of cultivars, from the vibrant ‘Hollandia’ to the rich and dark ‘Bordeaux’; choose our Mixed De Caen to compliment or contrast a bright springtime garden!
Fun Facts About Anemone Bulbs
Anemones are closely associated with the wind; their name even means “wind-flower” or “the wind’s daughter” in Greek. Greek mythology ties the flower to the goddess Aphrodite - supposedly the flowers sprouted from her tears as she mourned her lost love, Adonis. These tales likely contribute to the flower’s rather conflicting multiple meanings - being seen both as a sign of a coming spring breeze or the loss of a loved one. Wild anemones are a common sight in graveyards.
