Description

Anemones are very small bulbs which produce daisy-like flowers. These plants are part of the Ranunculaceae family and are known for their colorful, delicate flowers.

Anemone Coronaria Bicolor creates vibrant red flowers featuring sharp white centers, offering striking contrast in spring gardens. It blooms from January to March in plains and February to April in hilly regions. For a vivid spring display, plant the bulbs between October and November.

Environment

Anemones require full sun to partial shade and thrive in fertile, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0). Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged and soak the corms in water for 4-6 hours before planting. Plant the corms 1-2 inches deep with the pointed end facing down, spaced 3-4 inches apart. For optimal growth, use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at planting time.

Landscape Use

Anemones create great groundcovers and borders in full and partial sun areas.
