Planting & Care

🌱 Soil Preparation

• Choose a light, well-draining soil in full sun or part shade
• Prepare garden beds to a depth of 20cm, ensuring the soil is fluffy and aerated

🌱 Pre-Planting Soak

• Soak corms overnight in water with 1/3 strength Seasol solution
• This helps the bulbs swell and ensures even flowering

🌱 Planting Instructions

• Plant corms 2cm deep and 10cm apart
• No need to worry about orientation—corms will correct themselves as they grow

🌱 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

🌱 No Chilling Required in Cool Climates
Unlike some bulbs, Anemone De Caen Mix does not need refrigeration before planting in temperate regions.

Growing in the Tropics

While Anemone De Caen Mix thrives in cooler climates, it can still be grown in tropical regions with some adjustments:

• 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 proper care!
