A thoughtfully chosen duo, which provides an abundance of texture, architecture and colour for compact gardens and pots.
Overplant the bulbs of Allium Rosy Dream with Anemone blanda Blue in containers of rich compost during autumn, for a show-stopping display the following spring.
The dainty, violet-blue flowers of Anemone blanda blue will form a carpet of daisy-like flowers, from which spearheads of Allium Rosy Dream will emerge before opening into mauve pom-poms.
Both varieties will naturalise and multiply beautifully for an even better, repeat performance each year.
6 x Allium Rosy Dream and 10 x Anemone Blanda Blue.
de Jager's top quality, top size bulbs really make a huge difference in terms of flowering.
Plant each variety in individual pots or, for a longer flowering time, plant different varieties of bulbs in layers.
Plant bulbs 4 cm apart, larger bulbs at the bottom of the container with the smallest bulbs at the top, leaving 5 cm of soil between each layer. Space the bulbs alternately on each layer so they are not directly on top of one another.
