Planting & Care

🌱 Soil Preparation

  • Choose a light, well-draining soil in a full sun position (tolerates dappled light)
  • Prepare garden beds to a depth of 20cm, keeping the soil loose and airy

🌱 Planting Instructions

  • No need to worry about orientation—corms will correct themselves as they grow
  • Space corms 10cm apart for best flowering results

🌱 Watering & Feeding

  • Keep soil moist but not soggy
  • Feed as blooms appear for continuous flowering
  • Allow foliage to fully die back—this nourishes next year’s flowers

🌱 Pre-Planting Soak

  • For even germination and flowering, soak corms in a 1/3 strength Seasol solution before planting

🌱 No Chilling Required in Cool Climates
Unlike some bulbs, Anemone De Caen 'Blue Bi-Colour' does not need refrigeration before planting in temperate regions.

Growing in the Tropics

While Anemone De Caen 'Blue Bi-Colour' thrives in cool climates, it can still be grown in tropical regions with special care:

  • Artificial Chilling – Refrigerate corms for 6-8 weeks before planting (store in a paper bag in the crisper, not plastic)
  • Choose a Cooler Spot – Grow in semi-shade to reduce heat stress
  • Use Pots for Temperature Control – Containers allow better drainage and positioning in a cooler area
  • Water & Mulch Carefully – Keep soil moist but not soggy and use mulch to regulate temperature
  • Time Your Planting – For best results, plant during the coolest months (late autumn to early winter)

Even in the tropics, anemones can still bloom beautifully with the right adjustments!
