| Sowing, Seeds, Planting | Anemones are best planted in cool, rich crumbly soil in a semi-shaded spot where the flowers will really shine out. Choose your spot carefully as they dislike being moved and can also spread over time to colonise large areas so give them plenty of space. Anemones will grow in a sunny position but the flowers really shine out if planted in a shadier spot. Sprinkle mycorrhizal fungi into the base of the planting hole, water well and apply a mulch around the base of the plant to help provide a cool root-run. |
| Care Tips | Contact with sap may cause skin irritation. Cut back the stalks once the flowers have faded, and remove dead leaves in late winter. |
| Flowering | May - September |
| Vase Life | Makes an excellent cut flower. |

Where is it now?
Reviewed 31st May 2017 by Corinne Abraham-Wallace This beautiful wild swan has a lovely flower proud smart delicate flowers surviving heavy rain well. They are currently low growing but covered with flowers. I am looking forward to them growing taller. In Sarah's booklet it grows to 60cm not there yet. They have been a beautiful present I have very much appreciated. |
