Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Planting: Choose a location with well-drained, humus-rich soil and partial sunlight. Ensure the planting area is free of weeds before planting. Space plants 40-60cm apart to allow for growth.
  2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Water deeply but avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.
  3. Soil: Anemones prefer moist, fertile, and humus-rich soil. Adding compost or well-rotted manure in the spring helps provide essential nutrients.
  4. Mulching: Apply winter mulch in cooler areas to protect the roots from freezing temperatures. Mulching also helps retain soil moisture.
