Re: Spring Perennials/ Combinations

Hello Bill,
    You are right about the soil. If this anemone get somewhat loose soils with
decent humus content it will reach out and form a really good colony. Also a mulch
each year as the anemone tends to come up to the surface as the roots grow over
each other. Not invasive or anything , just good increase over time. Also would
guess that the dry soil would force it into dormancy earlier in the season holding
it back a bit. Now is a good time to play with it if you remember exactly where it
is placed in the garden.  I just completed dividing them and potting for the
nursery.
