poppy anemone, hybrid anemone

Poppy Anemones are available in spring with an assortment of jewel toned flowers, approximately 1-2″ wide with poppy-like, black centers. Growing from a bulb (tuberous rhizome). Hybrid or Japanese Anemones are delightful and dependable producers of 2-3″ wide, pink, mauve, white, single to double flowers with yellow centers that dance in the wind on long, gracefully stems late summer into fall. Anemones make an excellent cut flower and also provide wonderful late season color.

Use Plant-tone and Iron-tone in spring or at planting; apply Osmocote in summer. Mulch 1-2” to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. Divide in spring when necessary. Avoid exposed, windy areas.
