Meron Blue Anemone Corms
Meron Blue Anemone are purple, and we love purple. With a big dark center, these flowers are so funky and bold.
Anemones are one of our favorite plants to grow. They add an unexpected element to the spring garden with their enchanting colors, graceful shape, and modern silhouette. Each corm produces up to 20 flowers, so they make a big impact, too.
Anemone grow from corms, which are like little bulbs. Figuring out when to plant is a little tricky but don't worry, we'll talk you through it! Once you get them in the ground they really are not hard to grow.
Includes 20 corms in a cloth bag with planting instructions and a wooden label stake.

 How to Plant |
Soak your corms in room-temperature or cool water for 3-6 hours before planting. Allow a little trickle of water to run into the bowl as they rehydrate, or refresh the water every hour in order to increase the oxygen in the water (bad bacteria and mold spores like warm, oxygen deprived water). Plant immediately after soaking, 5" apart, 1-2" deep, with the pointy side of the corm pointing down. If you can't tell which way is down, just guess. They'll figure it out |
 Where to Plant |
Anemone like rich, well-draining soil. Supplement your dirt with compost or fertilizer when planting in the ground, or use fresh, quality potting soil for containers |
 When to Plant |
In warm zones (generally zones 7-10, 7 being the cusp), plant in the late fall for early spring blooms. If you live in a cold zone, with significant stretches of cold in the winter, (generally zones 6-2), plant in the late winter/very early spring instead, after your last hard frost. Corms can handle a brief, light frost, but will not survive if they are in temperatures below 30 degrees |
 When to Expect Blooms |
Fall planted corms bloom for about 8-10 weeks in the early spring, and spring-planted corms will blossom for about 6 weeks beginning in mid-spring. Blooms arrive generally 90 days after planting |
 Care Instructions |
Water regularly once the foliage emerges, and pick the flowers regularly to encourage more blooms. (Bring the flowers in! Make bouquets! Have fun!) And ask us any questions along the way |

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Ask a Question-
Do these Merton blue anemones grow well in US zone 11 ? Southern California
Hi there! They like to grow when it's around 55-77 degrees, so as long as you get a solid couple months of weather in this temperature zone where you are then you're good to plant then! Typically this would be in your winter, Dec-Feb.
