Re: Anemone blanda


I have never grown A. blanda- so this is only pass along information-But this 
Anemone does not like to grow below zone 7, in the lower parts of zone 7 and 
zones 8-9 they are short lived-surviving only one to three years.

They like cool-rich organic soils in the spring and summer they like it dry 
and well drained.  So I would make a special spot for them in a lightly 
shaded spot and use a soil made up of 50 percent compost and 50 percent mix 
of large course sand and "dirt" maybe also mix in some small rocks right 
under the tubers.  I also understand that you can raise plants from seed and 
have them bloom in only two years-which is "fast" for a "bulb" (tubers) 
producing plant.

If you are not have successes with buying the bulbs and planting them -- you 
can find a source for seeds and give them a try that way.
