Anemone Perennial
Winter Hardiness: Anemone blanda is hardy in zones 5-9 and will come back to bloom again each year. De Caen and St. Brigid anemones are hardy in zones 7-9 and will usually flower well for several years before you need to plant fresh corms. In colder areas (growing zones 3-6), De Caen and St Brigid anemones are treated as summer-blooming annuals – plant the corms in spring for summer flowers. Anemone canadensis and Anemone sylvestris are hardy in zones 3-7 and Anemone x hybrida is hardy in zones 4-8Planting Tips: Anemone corms are hard and dry. Soaking them in lukewarm water for 4 hours before planting (no longer!) will make it easier for the sprouts to emerge. The corms of anemone coronaria may be sprouted before planting. To do this, fill a planting tray with 1" of damp growing mix. Scatter the corms over the surface and cover with another inch of damp growing mix. Store tray in a dark place for 10 days at 50-60°F. When you white roots, gently lift and replant the corms. When planting anemone corms, don’t worry about which end is up. They may be positioned in any direction and the sprouts will find their way to the sun.Though the different species of anemones have different root structures, all can be propagated by digging up the corms/ tubers, dividing them into pieces, then replanting. A common practice is to routinely dig up and divide the roots in the fall, then store them over winter for spring replanting. Make sure to inspect the roots and discard any that are diseased or soft with rot. Lifting the roots in fall for winter storage can be a good idea if your garden experiences wet soil over the winter.
Delicate nodding white flowers appear in late spring and early summer, over a low mound of ferny foliage. Plants will form a dense patch, suitable for a groundcover. Makes a useful over-planting for Narcissus or tulips, the Anemone leaves helping to disguise the bulb foliage in summer. Both the flowers as well as the fluffy seed-heads are useful for cutting. Allow this spreader plenty of room, or plan to edge each spring to keep the patch to a reasonable size. Easily divided in spring or fall. Anemones' timeless grace enhances any garden. Depending on species, anemones can be some of the earliest perennials up. Those spring plants typically cover woodland floors with delicate, nodding blooms in soft shades, most often white, rarely tinged pink or purple. But the true showstoppers are fall-blooming anemones. These larger plants come in many shades of whites and pinks with petals ranging from single rows to double. For best results, plant anemones in well-drained soils rich in organic matter. The extra organic matter keeps a consistent moisture in soil. Many spring-blooming anemones are ephemeral, meaning the foliage will die back in summer and plants will go dormant. This can happen quickly if the soil is allowed to dry too much or too often. Keeping the soil evenly moist is also important for fall bloomers because the foliage can dry up and leaf edges brown and crisp especially in warm Southern climates.saucer like flowers in shades of pink, white and cream and many varieties offered for sale are tall, 75cms plus ideal for planting towards the back of a boarder. Once established, Japanese anemones are easy to grow and maintenance free. Their leaves are almost silky in appearance, and they are long flowering from August through to October. Once established, Japanese anemones can be a little invasive, although not seriously so in most UK growing conditions. Once planted, it is preferable not to move them as they dislike being disturbed. It can take a little time to get Japanese anemones established, but once they start flowering, they will do so reliably every year, and for a long flowering season. Japanese anemones are ideal for late colour in the border. They are one of the longest flowering perennials and also a long living perennials, which can be left undisturbed in your garden for many years. (Source: www.sundaygardener.co.uk)
