Growing guide for Anemone Mount Everest Bulbs
Planting instructions
Plant anemone bulbs about 2 inches (5 cm) deep in well-draining soil. Place them with the pointy end facing up. For container planting, use a pot that's at least 6-8 inches deep and plant bulbs 2 inches deep, just like in the ground.
Growing Requirements
Pests
Anemones are generally not too bothered by pests or diseases. Keep an eye out for aphids, snails, and slugs. Use organic pest control methods if needed.
soil
Anemones thrive in well-draining, sandy or loamy soil. Make sure the soil isn't too heavy or soggy. You can improve soil quality with compost.
spot
Choose a spot with partial to full sun for your anemones. They can tolerate some shade, especially in hot climates. Good air circulation helps prevent disease.
temperature
Anemones like cool temperatures. They grow best in spring and early fall when it's not too hot. Avoid planting them in the middle of summer.
watering
Water your anemones regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water at the base of the plant to avoid getting the leaves wet, which can cause disease.
how to harvest
Anemones usually bloom in spring. Harvest the flowers when they are fully open but still in the morning when they are freshest. Use sharp scissors or shears to cut the stems at an angle. Leave at least 6 inches of stem attached to the flower. Place the cut stems in a container of water as soon as possible to keep them fresh. Change the water in the vase every few days, and trim the stems a bit to help them take up water.
