For as long as I have been gardening, I have always planted anemone corms every spring. They’re easy to grow and are one of the best value spring bulbs. You can get a pack of 25 corms for just a few dollars. Unlike a lot of other spring bulbs, corms produce several flowers, giving you even more bang for your buck. This year, I have planted 100 Anemone “The Bride” and 100 Anemone “Blue Poppy corms” I purchased from the New Zealand mail order company Bulbs Direct. I prefer single-flowering anemones to the double-flowering kind you can get, but that’s a matter of personal preference. I think that’s because single flowering anemones resemble poppies. Anemones make great cut flowers, too. They look nice in a bouquet of their own or added to other floral arrangements.
As with tulips and hyacinth, anemones do best in a cool climate. But if you live in the winterless north, fear not. With some care, it is still possible to grow anemones and for them to flower well. Here are some growing tips for gardeners who live in warmer climates.
