Description

Anemone blanda Charmer is as it’s name suggests, a charming deep rose pink flowers. Like all other anemones, Anemone blanda Charmer will naturalise very well. Anemone blandas are always helped if they are soaked overnight prior to planting as it assists germination.

Cultivation instructions:

Blandas are low growing and ideal for planting in the shady areas of the garden, under trees or in containers. They can be left alone to naturalise for many years because they are self seeding. Blandas will provide an even bigger display after a few years because they are low growing and will quickly naturalise in any area. Grow in free draining soils that are humus rich. Cultivate soils to a depth of 10cms and plant corms as per the instructions below.

Ideal for planting between shrubs to fill up the spaces and they work really well when planted with Trilliums and anemone nemerosa. They will also make an impact when planted with other varieties of Anemone blanda.

Care tips:

Soak the bulbs for 5-8hrs in warm water before planting, keep well watered in their first growing year to help them to establish.
