Anemone Blanda

Has anyone grown Anemone Blanda from corms? Should I soak them before planting? Is it better to grow them in pots and then plant them out as little plants - or to put them straight into the ground? Hope somebody can help with advice please.

Just plant them out. Mine have self sown/spread over the years so they must be pretty easy

No need to soak,better planted in groups, will self seed very quickly and have a habit of appearing where you did not plant them!!!

Well I hope you have more success than I have ever had. I have planted them off and on, in every possible method over the last 30 years or so and never managed to get one corm to grow. I have them in the garden growing from bought plants, but never from dried corms.

That's how I've always grown them before, too, Owdboggy, but the corms came in a pack of mixed miniature bulbs. I might as well have a go, nothing ventured as they say! I am going to plant them in my new border...see blog...:-)

My anemone blanda are growing in an area shaded by a flowering cherry. You might want to give them some shade

We have two Anemone blanda that have come into flower so far - and more on the way - your picture captures them perfectly.

Many of the simplest flowers provide amazing colour and performance, in my opinion. Although, your poor anemones must be exhausted in this very changeable weather, lol!

Agreed - such a lot of flower for such a wee plant! And pictures never seem to capture the correct shade of purple/blue. They seem to be selfseeding in my garden - which they may as much as they like!

They are such cheery flowers. We find them naturalising all over the place - usually after sweeping the paths to collect up the forest bark that has come off the borders - the anenome seeds are presumably collected up, too, and thrown back on the borders.

I have some of these growing for the first time this year. This evening I noticed just how many were flowering at the same time. I believe you when you say how amazing they look.

They really are amazing Treesandthings, and the photo doesn't do them justice. As you can see, they are growing in grass that is pretty patchy - it's overhung by what i think is a Sea Buckthorn tree in our neighbour's garden - a lovely twisted trunk, with glorious berries and beloved by the birds - not much else grows here, but the anemones seem to thrive here. They open in the sun and shut in the shade - which means I miss them during the week when I'm at work, but catching up with them on a sunny weekend day is just great.

No apologies needed. They look great to me. And... the garden wall looks great. Interesting stone work.

One of my favourite flowers. We have blue ones in drifts in a shady area of the garden. They go so well with the Ilex Golden King (a holly which is female and has berries!)

Members' notes...

spritzhenry

I grew some from corms and also bought two pots of the deep blue ones.

Sid

These are in a large concrete planter and accompany a little trailing rose, some iris reticulata and clove-scented pinks. The anemonies are the second the bloom, after the irises have finished.

Buzzbee

Planted in "grass" in our front garden - my camera can't get the colour right - it's a lovely purple blue.
