Anemone De Caen Hollandia
M5108
Description
Anemone De Caen ‘Hollondia’ resembles a resplendent poppy, with scarlet red petals and a jet-black centre. The open, bowl-shaped blooms are held on fine stems above lacy foliage. The beacon of bold colour and inky dusting of pollen will prove irresistible to pollinators, luring bees and butterflies to your garden. A petite stature of 25cm makes this anemone highly effective at brightening containers and edging borders. Planted alongside other spring bulbs, this variety provides an explosion of colour from May to June. The De Caen series are prized as cut flowers to create delightful, delicate arrangements around your home.
Care Guide
To grow Anemones successfully, select a partly shaded area with well-drained, humus-rich soil. Pre-soak corms overnight in tepid water, planting 5-8cm deep and 15cm apart the following day. Keep soil consistently moist without waterlogging and feed with dilute liquid seaweed every week during flower production. Graceful stems of open-faced blooms rise to heights of 15-30cm between March and June. The delicate flowers are wonderful for cutting and arranging. Can be grown undercover in a greenhouse or polytunnel for earlier flowers and may also be grown in containers or crates.
