Anemone Bulb Growing Information:

General Instructions: Soak anemone corms in tepid water overnight prior to planting. In Zones 4 and above, they can be planted throughout the spring. In Zones 2 and 3, anemone should be planted outside after all danger of frost has passed. For an earlier start, plant the bulbs indoors in a pot using a standard potting soil. Water well and keep the pot in a sunny window. Place outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Plant bulbs with the rounded side facing upwards.
Spacing: Plant bulbs 2 inches below the soil surface and space them approximately 4-6 inches apart.
Soil requirements: Anemone prefer a rich, well-drained soil.
Light requirements: Plant in full sun, or in regions with hot summers, plant in partial shade.
Fertilization requirements: For best results, fertilize monthly with an all-purpose fertilizer.
End of season care: In Zones 8 and above, leave anemone in the ground, they require no special care. Leave the foliage on the plants to help nourish the bulbs. In Zones 4-7 cover the plants with a protective, heavy layer of straw or leaf mulch, and uncover in spring. In colder climates, dig the bulbs before the first frost and let them air dry for several days. Store bulbs in peat moss in a cool location.
