How to Plant & Grow

Quick Planting Guide

• Planting time: Fall in mild climates (Zones 7–10), or early spring after frost in colder climates

• Soil: Loose, fertile, well-draining

• Depth & spacing: 2–3" deep, 6" apart

• Light: Full sun (with some afternoon shade in hot regions)

• Bloom: 12–14 weeks after planting (fall planting = late winter–spring blooms; spring planting = late spring–early summer blooms)

Step-by-Step Planting Instructions

1. Prepare the corms

• Anemones come as dry, hard corms.

• Soak in cool to lukewarm water for 4–6 hours before planting. This hydrates them and speeds sprouting.

• You may notice little “claws” or bumps on the corm — that side goes down when planting. If unsure, lay them sideways.

2. Pre-sprouting (optional, but highly recommended for cut flowers)

• For stronger plants and earlier blooms, you can pre-sprout your corms before planting outdoors:

  1. After soaking, place corms in a shallow tray with slightly damp vermiculite, peat, or potting mix.

  2. Store in a cool, dark spot (around 40–50°F / 4–10°C) for 1–2 weeks.

  3. Once little white root nubs appear, they’re ready to be planted into beds or pots.

3. Prepare the planting site

• Choose a location with full sun and excellent drainage.

• Loosen soil at least 6–8" deep. Add compost for fertility and grit/sand if soil is heavy.

• Raised beds or deep containers work very well if garden soil is not ideal.

4. Plant the corms

• Plant 2–3 inches deep and about 6 inches apart.

• Water well after planting to settle the soil.

• If planting in fall in cooler climates, cover beds with frost cloth for extra protection.

5. Growing on & care

• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist during active growth. Avoid overwatering.

• Feeding: Once shoots appear, feed every 2–3 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer or organic feed for continuous flowering.

• Mulching: A light mulch helps retain soil moisture and protect plants from temperature swings.

6. Bloom time & harvest

• Expect blooms 3–4 months after planting.

• Harvest stems when blooms are just beginning to open (the “wiggle stage” — when the flower head starts to move freely on its stem). This gives the best vase life.

• Regular harvesting or deadheading encourages more blooms.

7. After flowering

• Once flowering is finished and foliage yellows, you can:

  • In mild climates: Leave corms in the ground to rest over summer.

  • In cold or wet climates: Lift the corms, brush off soil, let dry in a cool, airy spot, then store in paper bags or mesh sacks until replanting.

Tips for Success

• For a longer bloom window, stagger plantings every 2–3 weeks.

• Protect young growth from slugs, snails, and frost.

• Excellent as cut flowers — vase life is typically 7–10 days.

• Looks stunning when paired with ranunculus, tulips, and other spring bulbs.
