Anemone

Anemone corms: for cut-flower production, gardens and naturalising

Holland Bulb Market supplies two groups of anemones: the low Anemone blanda, which flowers in March and April and naturalises well, and Anemone coronaria, an important cut flower with large single (De Caen) or double (St. Brigid) flowers in white, red, pink, purple and blue. Depending on climate and planting time, coronaria flowers from February into July.

Uses

Cut flowers: Anemone coronaria is grown under glass and in the open field and is popular with florists and for bridal work.
Gardens and rock gardens: Anemone blanda forms carpets in spring under shrubs and among crocuses and muscari.
Pots and retail: anemones in pots and consumer packs for spring and autumn sales.
Public green spaces: Anemone blanda naturalises in humus-rich, well-drained spots.

Professional cultivation: cut anemones

In mild climates, such as southern Europe, Anemone coronaria is planted in autumn and flowers from February. In colder regions, plant in early spring for flowering in June and July. Soak the corms in water for a day before planting. Anemones are very sensitive to wet soil; ensure good drainage.

We advise on cultivar choice, size and planting time. Read more about professional growing.
