Product Information

Full details

The Thompson and Morgan Anemone Coronaria Meron Bordeaux bulbs are perfect for gardeners looking to add deep, dramatic color to their spring landscapes, offering a sophisticated look that works beautifully in both outdoor borders and indoor bouquets. These perennial tubers deliver striking maroon blooms with near-black velvet petals and vivid purple centers, providing a high-impact visual display on a compact 40 to 50cm frame. While these bulbs are remarkably easy to manage, they require well-drained soil to thrive, as they are susceptible to rot if left in standing water during the dormant or growing phase.

FAQs

Can I leave these bulbs in the ground over winter?

Yes, in areas with mild winters, they can remain in the ground. In regions with harsh, freezing winters, consider lifting them or applying a thick layer of mulch.

How deep should I plant the Meron Bordeaux bulbs?

Plant the tubers approximately 5 cm deep with the growing tip facing upward.

Are these bulbs deer resistant?

While no plant is strictly deer-proof, anemones are generally less attractive to deer compared to more fragrant flowers.

How long do the flowers last?

Once open, the blooms typically last for several weeks, especially if weather conditions remain cool.

Can I grow these in pots?

Absolutely, they thrive in containers as long as the pots have drainage holes and you use a high-quality, well-draining potting mix.

When is the best time to fertilize?

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at the start of the spring growing season to boost development.

Troubleshooting

Bulbs failing to sprout

Often caused by rot due to waterlogged soil; ensure the planting site has excellent drainage.

Leggy or weak stems

This is usually a sign of insufficient light; move containers to a sunnier location or ensure garden beds are not shaded by overhanging trees.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Stunning, unique color profile that stands out in early spring
  • Compact height fits well in small spaces or containers
  • Excellent for use as cut flowers in indoor arrangements
  • Relatively low maintenance requirements once established

Cons

  • Requires strictly well-drained soil to prevent tuber rot
  • Sensitive to waterlogged conditions during winter and spring
  • Limited bloom window as they are early-season performers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure success, plant your bulbs in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. The most critical factor is drainage; if your soil is heavy clay, amend it with grit or sand before planting to ensure the tubers do not sit in damp, cold soil.

  1. Planting Time: Plant in autumn or early spring depending on your local climate.
  2. Depth: Bury the tubers approximately 5 cm deep.
  3. Spacing: Space them 10 to 15 cm apart to allow for proper airflow.
  4. Watering: Maintain consistent moisture during the active growing season, but reduce watering as the foliage begins to die back after flowering.
  5. Feeding: A light application of a balanced liquid fertilizer during the initial growth phase can support better bloom production.
