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, ensuring the soil is fluffy and loose

🌱 Planting Instructions

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

🌱 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 Shades' does not need refrigeration before planting in temperate regions.

Growing in the Tropics

While Anemone De Caen 'Blue Shades' thrives in cooler climates, it can still be grown in tropical regions with the right 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 minimize 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 soil 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 proper care!
