Anemone coronaria

Anemone is a spring-blooming flower known for its vibrant, poppy-like blooms in shades of red, white, blue, and pink. Popular in cutting gardens, it thrives in mild climates and is ideal for garden borders or containers. Its long-lasting flowers are highly valued for floral arrangements

Planting and Care

Soak corms in water for 3–4 hours before planting to encourage faster growth. Plant in fall in mild climates (Zones 7–10) for spring blooms or in early spring in cooler regions. Plant corms 1–2 inches deep, pointed side down. Space 6–9 inches apart. Water thoroughly after planting, then keep soil consistently moist but not soggy during growth and blooming. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. In colder zones, lift corms in late summer or fall after foliage dies back. Store in a cool, dry place for replanting.

Harvest

Harvest when buds are fully colored but still closed for the longest vase life. Blooms last 7–10 days in water.


Companion Plants

Combine with ranunculus, tulips, or snapdragons for a striking floral display.
