All anemones open pretty flowers. But some species do this early in the year, while other species wait until autumn. Is their number and beauty fueled by sun and dimmed by shadow? Or is the ideal location somewhere in between?
How much shade can anemones tolerate?
Anemones that bloom in spring, such as the Balkan anemone or the wood anemone, requirelight shade, for example under deciduous trees. For summer anemones and autumn anemones, however, the place must not be too shady. They like to growpartly shaded, but also sunny with good water supply.
What is the ideal location for spring anemones?
Among the spring-flowering anemones are many original forest plants such as the wood anemone. They are used to shade from larger trees and are well adapted. They still receive enough light for their flowers, as their flowering period usually begins and ends before the tree has completely sprouted its leaves. Afterwards, he is welcome to shade the yellowing leaves of the spring anemones. These anemones also want a placeunder sparse trees and bushes in the home garden.
Where is the best place to plant autumn anemones?
Whether you have chosen “Anemone japonica”, Anemone hupehensis” or “Anemone tomentosa”, you do not have to make any distinctions when looking for a location:
- Autumn anemone varieties need apartially shaded place
- the soil should be permeable, humus-rich and nutrient-rich
- Autumn anemone perennials also cope with sunny places
- then the earth must not dry out
How much sun can summer anemones tolerate?
Summer anemonescan tolerate sun, but need to bewatered regularly in a sunny location so that the soil does not dry out. The more sun they get, the more lush the flowering period. The plants also develop well in a partially shaded location. They may flower more reservedly, but require less care as they need to be watered less often.
Tip
Anemones can also thrive in pots
If you haven't found a place in the garden to plant anemones, just put them in a large pot. The anemone retains its preference for sun or shade.
