Anemone Blanda Super Mixed
M5091
Description
A superb mixture of the Anemone Blanda species. The latin epithet ‘blanda’ means ‘charming’ or ‘mild’, and these pretty petals are deserving of their name. A carpet of dainty, daisy-like flowers emerge in shades of soft blue, pink, and white. Lush, lacy foliage forms a weed-suppressing mat of marvellous groundcover. With an RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that these Anemones are first-rate performers. Admire these dinky gems up close in containers, dot amongst rockeries, edge pathways, and underplant trees for a woodland effect. These bulbs will quickly multiply to form generous clumps, producing an increasingly spectacular show each season.
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.
