FAQs

When should I plant these bulbs?

They can be planted in autumn for spring blooms or in early spring for summer flowers.

Do I need to lift the bulbs after flowering?

In mild areas, they can be left in the ground. In colder regions, it is safer to lift them and store them in a cool, dry place over winter.

How deep should I plant the corms?

Plant them at a depth of approximately 5cm with the pointed side facing downwards.

Can these be grown in pots?

Yes, they are excellent for containers and troughs provided the soil has good drainage.

How long do the cut flowers last?

When cut at the right stage, they can last up to 10 days in a vase.

Are these deer resistant?

Anemones are generally considered less appealing to deer and rabbits compared to other bulbs.

Troubleshooting

Bulbs failing to sprout

Often caused by waterlogged soil. Ensure the planting site has excellent drainage and avoid heavy watering before sprouts appear.

Stems flopping or weak

This usually indicates the plants are not getting enough sunlight. Move containers to a brighter location.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive collection of five high-quality varieties
  • Excellent for indoor floral arrangements with a 10-day vase life
  • Compact size makes them suitable for small containers
  • Abundant 600-bulb count for mass plantings

Cons

  • Requires well-draining soil to prevent rot
  • Does not thrive in heavy, waterlogged clay environments
  • Large quantity may be overwhelming for very small garden spaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, soak the corms in lukewarm water for a few hours prior to planting to rehydrate them. Plant at a depth of 5cm, spacing them approximately 10cm apart. These plants prefer a sunny or partially shaded position. During the growing season, keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. If planting in pots, ensure the containers have sufficient drainage holes. After the flowering period, allow the foliage to die back naturally to ensure the corms store enough energy for the following season. Protect from extreme frost in harsh climates.
