FAQs:

  • Where to plant Anemones
    Anemones grow best in fertile, well-drained soil and in full sun or light shade. They suit borders, raised beds, containers and rockery pockets, and naturalise well beneath deciduous shrubs.

  • Companion plants for Anemones
    Their refined habit pairs well with hardy Geraniums, Hellebores, Heuchera and ornamental grasses. Spring-flowering types work beautifully with tulips and daffodils, while taller, autumn-flowering varieties complement perennials such as Rudbeckia and Sedum
  • Growing Anemones
    With the right care, Anemones can perform reliably every year. Water in dry spells, apply a balanced spring feed, and deadhead to keep displays tidy. Divide perennial clumps every few years to maintain vigour, and mulch in winter to protect crowns and corms in exposed or wetter gardens.
