Anemone | Rainbow Blueberry 5pk

🌱 When to Plant

In colder climates like Alberta:
• Plant outdoors in early spring once soil is workable
• Or start in a cool greenhouse for earlier blooms

In mild climates, they can be fall planted for spring flowering.

🌰 Preparing the Corms

Anemone corms arrive hard and dry.
• Soak in room-temperature water for 3–4 hours before planting
• Do not oversoak (this can cause rot)

After soaking, they will plump up and feel textured.

🌿 Planting

• Plant 1–2 inches deep
• Space 4–6 inches apart
• It’s not critical which side faces up — they will sort themselves out

☀️ Light & Soil

• Full sun to light shade
• Well-draining soil is essential
• Rich, compost-amended beds are ideal

They dislike sitting in soggy soil.

💧 Watering

• Keep evenly moist during growth
• Avoid overwatering
• Reduce watering as foliage begins to yellow after flowering

🌸 Blooming

Expect blooms approximately 90 days after planting, depending on temperature. Cooler growing conditions produce stronger stems and richer colour.

🧺 After Flowering

• Allow foliage to die back naturally
• In colder climates, corms can be lifted and stored dry
• In well-drained beds, some gardeners experiment with leaving them in the ground, though success varies with winter moisture
