Anemone bulbs are usually planted in the fall, from September to November, so they can develop roots before winter sets in. For some varieties, such as Anemone coronaria, planting can take place a little earlier or later depending on the climate. In colder regions, it's important to prepare the soil well and, if necessary, apply a protective layer of mulch.
Plant the bulbs 5–7 cm deep, pointed upwards. Choose a sunny to partially shaded spot with well-drained soil. Keep the soil slightly moist, but avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to rot. Fertilize the soil before planting, preferably with organic fertilizer or special bulb food. Regular watering and deadheading during flowering encourages new blooms.
Remove wilted flowers promptly and allow the foliage to die back completely to return nutrients to the bulb. An extra dose of bulb food during flowering can help. In regions with heavy rain or cold, it's advisable to protect the bulbs with a layer of mulch or a light frame.
Yes, anemones thrive in pots and window boxes, provided the container has sufficient depth and good drainage. Use airy, well-draining potting soil. Place the pot in a sunny spot and keep the soil evenly moist. For a longer flowering period, the pot can be placed in a sheltered spot to protect the flowers from wind and rain.
After flowering, the bulb can be carefully dug up once the foliage has completely died back. Let the bulbs dry for a few days in a cool, dry place. Then store them in a well-ventilated, dry environment at around 15°C (59°F). Avoid damp cupboards or plastic bags, as these can cause mold. In temperate climates, some varieties can remain in the ground, provided the soil is well-drained and protected from severe frost.
