Place the tubers in holes that are about twice as deep as the tubers. Then plant the soil well and water something.
When is the best time to plant?
Plant anemones in the flowerbed from late March to early April. The soil must not be too cold, as many varieties are not hardy.
In which location do anemones feel comfortable?
All anemones feel comfortable in as sunny a location as possible. They also thrive in partial shade if they get enough light. But never plant them under conifers.
- As sunny as possible
- Not too warm
- Somewhat sheltered from the wind
- Loose, not too acidic soil
- Avoid waterlogging
How should the potting soil be made?
The soil should be slightly nutritious and acidic. If necessary, improve them with a little lime or ripe compost. Loose soil prevents waterlogging from building up.
What is the planting distance?
Anemones that bloom in spring form small clumps. Place them about ten centimeters apart.
Is it possible to grow in a pot?
Yes, anemones can also be kept in pots.
Are anemones preferable?
You can prefer anemones in a pot on the windowsill from February. The plants are only allowed outside when it is no longer freezing outside and the garden soil is no longer so cold.
Gradually get the plants used to the fresh air. Then simply put the anemones that have been grown in the pot outdoors. This makes it easier to dig up the onions later if they are not hardy anemones.
When is the flowering time of the anemones?
The first flowers appear in April. The flowering period can drag on until the end of May.
How are anemones propagated?
Anemones are propagated by sowing or by separating the small tubers that form on the roots. Varieties of anemones that do not form tubers can be divided to produce new plants.
Are anemones poisonous?
Anemones are slightly poisonous. When fresh, they contain protoanemonin, which can burn the skin on contact. If the toxin is absorbed, nerve damage and severe discomfort can occur. When dry, the poison turns into the non-toxic anemonine.
