Anemones are available as spring bloomers and as autumn anemones. Depending on the species, ensure a suitable location. Only then will the pretty flowers thrive and reward your efforts with lots of flowers and a long flowering period.
Which location do anemones prefer?
The ideal location for anemones is sunny to partially shaded, protected from the wind, with permeable and nutrient-rich, slightly acidic soil. Avoid waterlogging and planting under conifers as the soil there is too acidic.
Finding the right location for anemones
- Sunny to partially shaded
- Spring bloomers also under trees
- Protected from the wind
- Permeable soil
- Nutritious, only slightly acidic soil
- Soil better dry than moist
- Never plant under conifers
The sunnier and brighter the location, the more beautifully anemones bloom. Fewer flowers develop in partial shade under translucent trees.
Never plant anemones under coniferous trees as the soil here is too acidic. Make sure the plants are in a place where they are not too damp. Anemones cannot tolerate waterlogging at all.
Tips & Tricks
Anemones that bloom in spring are the ideal addition to the spring bed. Together with tulips, forget-me-nots and daffodils, they provide color after the dreary winter months.
