Anemone Coronaria (De Caen Group) Mr Fokker – Potted Bulbs | 9cm Pot

Vibrant colour for a sunny, well-drained position. Position: full sun Soil: light, sandy soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: March to April Hardiness: fully hardy A low growing tuberous perennial, which is much-loved for its large, black-eyed, violet-blue flowers, which appear in spring over mounds of finely dissected foliage. The velvet-like petals form large open bowls, and gradually open out even further before they fall to create saucer-like plates. Anemones make charming cut flowers and look lovely at the front of a sunny border. Garden care: Feed with a balanced fertiliser, and remove flowers as they fade. Do not be tempted to cut back or tidy the foliage after flowering, as this will interfere with the bulbs’ ability to store energy for the following year’s flowers. After flowering, and while still in leaf, consider planting out out into the garden for an annual display each year.
