How to plant Anemone
Anemones can either be corms or plants. If you’re planting corms, give them a soak for 2 to 4 hours before you plant them. This will encourage shooting and development of a good root system. If you’re planting young plants, they should be potted up for 4-6 weeks before planting out so that they will be robust enough to survive in beds and borders.
How to care for Anemone
Anemones dislike winter wet. Give them a mulch in colder areas. Anemone hupehensis, hybrida and japonica are intolerant to transferals so try to avoid moving them once planted.
How to propagate Anemone
It is possible to propagate Anemone hupehensis, japonica and hybrida by division in early spring. Anemone coronaria can be propagated by seed or division of the tubers during summer.
