How to grow anemones at home?

If you want to create a smooth sway of paints on the site from the slightest gust of wind - plant Anemone, a perennial herb with charming flower cups. In the wild, it can be found in open areas of a temperate climate.

Gardeners loved the flower for its unusual flowers and ease of movement when the wind blows. The people called her the anemone. Brightness of colors, demanding plants of the buttercup family allow to revive the garden and give it dynamics.

How to plant an anemone for seedlings: preparation of soil and material

Anemone crown planting for seedlings at home

Site analysis should identify a suitable location for the plant. It should be spacious, slightly shaded or shaded, and free of drafts. Despite the fact that this is a "anemone", she does not like constant blowing.

The soil is suitable for loose, loamy with a neutral alkaline balance

• For this, sand, wood ash, mulch from dry leaves and humus are added to the soil.
• The root system does not tolerate dense compounds. Therefore, during the summer, you need to loosen the ground several times and add mulching sawdust, pebbles, sand. Branched roots require a lot of oxygen.
• Sometimes weeding is enough to provide fresh air to the roots. Use a loosening tool with care so as not to damage fragile roots.

Anemone propagates with the help of tubers, rhizomes and seeds... The most common method is tuberous in spring and rhizomes in summer. Seed is rarely used, as it requires special care, and seed germination is about 25%. Despite the difficulties of seed growing, gardeners sometimes use it to produce healthy, sturdy shrubs.

Anemones flowers planting and care at home

Seed method.

• To increase the germination of seeds, the stratification method is used, in other words, they are left in the cold.
• In snowy winters, this can be done naturally. In the fall, leave the seeds in boxes, covered with dry foliage and snow, and in the spring, let the seeds germinate. An industrial growth promoter for universal use will increase the germination capacity. Soak in accordance with the instructions, leave for a day before autumn planting.

Plant the grown and matured shoots in a permanent place, providing favorable conditions: warmth, dim light, sufficient moisture. They become "adult" peduncles in the third season, so you need to be patient. The riot of colors and the tremor of the petals are worth it.

Tuberous varieties need to be "awakened" from hibernation by taking them out of winter storage

• To speed up growth and get a lush bloom, you need to germinate the tubers.
• To do this, you can put it in water for several days.
• When sprouts appear, plant in pots with nutrient soil. So germinate until the snow cover recedes.
• Then they are planted in flower beds.
• In a month there will be a luxurious bouquet of delicate spring flowers.

Informative video how to sprout anemone tubers:

Advice. To speed up germination, you can wrap the tubers with a damp soft cloth moistened with epin solution, place in a plastic bag for 6 hours. An airless warm space quickly removes the plant from suspended animation, they can be immediately planted in a flower bed.

How to plant anemone flowers

Flowers anemones photo planting

Tubers can cause difficulty, especially if there was no previous experience with tuberous plants. After swelling, tubers will have tubercles-buds, they should germinate from the ground. If in doubt, you can navigate by the shape of the tuber: the top is flat, the bottom is sharp. You need to plant with the tip down, and the flat part up. If sprouts appear (white, green or reddish dots, loops or strings), then the process is simplified. They need to be placed up (these are not roots).

Tuber hole is about 30-40 cm and 15 cm deep

A large hole is needed so that the root system is comfortable, oxygen from the air can freely flow to the roots. So the flowers will be larger, and the foliage will be brighter, more abundant and richer. Spill each hole with warm water, sprinkle with humus, mulch, if necessary, ash. This will prepare the nutrient medium.

The readiness of seedlings for planting is determined by the number of true leaves... There should be at least 4. Stable stem, about 15 cm high, possibly less. It is better to choose a shady, windless place for the sprouts. Still weakened seedlings need constant monitoring and care. They will give their first flowers only after 3 years.

Advice. If you are going to plant seedlings in the autumn, then from frost the planting should be covered with coniferous spruce branches or dry foliage.

Agricultural technology anemones Care of plants in the open field

Anemone tender flowers anemone care

The process of growing anemones is standard and familiar to any flower garden lover. Do not leave seedlings without water, provide constantly moist soil, especially during the period of bud formation. Well mulched soil does not allow water to stagnate, which is good for the root system. There is no rot, dangerous pests - slugs, moisture-loving weeds do not grow.

In spring, the soil is naturally moist enough.

• therefore, watering once a week is sufficient for active growth and flowering.
• In summer, watering only in dry weather.
• For the middle lane, it is enough to water in the morning or evening before the period of strong sun activity.
• The water can be cold, but it is better to be warm so as not to damage the roots. Rainwater is great.

Anemone de caenne landing and leaving

Weeding provides oxygen to the roots, leaving nutrients. It is best to control weeds in damp, cool weather when the soil can easily give off the roots of the weed. This will not harm the flower. If the flowerbed is attacked by weeds with long roots, then the entire zone should be dug up, transplanting the anemones flowers to a new temporary place.

Important

Do not use chemicals for weed control. The root system is branched, small, fragile and weak, and a chemical burn may result.

Feeding anemone is needed throughout the growing season: during planting, growth and flowering, for winter "hibernation". They are especially demanding on the nutrient medium during flowering. Liquid fertilizers work well. You can choose universal products from the range of the gardening industry or prepare yourself.

Advice

Flowers do not withstand the action of fresh manure, therefore, the use of not rotted organic matter should be avoided.

Pest control consists in spraying with special solutions and destruction. A solution of metaldehyde helps with slugs and snails, and a soap solution will help against aphids. If a nematode is seen in the soil, then it will not work to get rid of it without consequences. Affected plants are destroyed, and the soil must be replaced.

Reproduction can be carried out not only by tubers and seeds, but also by dividing the rhizome. To do this, the bush must be divided so that there is at least one bud of 5-7 cm. The shoots with the rhizome are planted in a new place, following the same procedures as when planting tubers.

Caring for an anemone after flowering

Anemones photo of flowers

In severe cold winters, tubers can freeze, so it is advised to dig them into a cool basement or vegetable pit for storage. Before digging, all the tops are cut off, the tubers are left to dry for a day in a ventilated room, for example, a veranda or an attic. To prevent the tubers from drying out and losing their shape, they are placed in a box with peat, sawdust or sand.

Summer species with rhizomes are not dug out, but covered with spruce branches or covering material. After that they fall asleep with snow. Tall bushes are cut to the ground to avoid freezing.

Decorate the garden, take care of it, and he will say thank you with bright colors.

Features of anemone care

Anemone flower multi-dissected

There are about 160 varieties of varietal varieties, and all have their own characteristics of cultivation. Some love warmth, bloom only in the summer, others need nutritious feeding for abundant flowering. And some are unpretentious to the soil and can please the eye without any care.

There are 2 types of anemone ..

with tubers and rhizomes. Depending on what type of plant, a set of care measures is used. Before choosing a species, you need to familiarize yourself with the preferences of each species. So the flower will bring the expected splendor of flowering.

For anemone bushes with rhizomes, the growing conditions can be any. They are unpretentious to care for, do not require frequent watering, but in a drought, nutrient moisture is necessary for everyone. They endure winter frosts in the ground, if well covered with dry foliage and snow.

Tuberous varieties of anemone require their own cultivation characteristics, failure to comply with which can be detrimental to the plant. It will not bloom and may freeze. They do not tolerate winter cold, the tubers are stored in a cool dry place, for example, a basement or a vegetable pit.

Anemone flower planting and care

For anemones you need:

• obligatory feeding for lush flower stalks: mineral fertilizers in the fall, organic during planting and flowering;
• watering in dry weather, otherwise the buds cannot form, the leaves will begin to fall off;
• it is better to propagate in the middle of spring, when the shoots begin to appear and reach 5-7 cm.

Do not forget about pest control. If there are a lot of fruit bushes on the site, then ants and aphids may appear. They are detrimental to flowers, as they take up the nutrient medium and interfere with normal growth.

Species diversity of anemone flowers

Anemones planting and care in the open field

There are so many wild and cultivated anemones that gardeners have lost count. Some have chosen certain varieties for themselves, while others do not. After all, a different variety and type requires its own care, which is not always convenient.
By flowering time, there are:

• spring with a short life cycle (they bloom in May, and in June they go into hibernation until the next flowering);
• summer (also called autumn) bloom begins at the end of summer and before the first autumn frosts, when the temperature drops below -1-5 ° С

Spring types of anemone

Anemone tender Anemone tender photo

Anemone tender... Only 5-10 cm high, herbaceous plant with a tuberous slowly growing rhizome. In its varietal arsenal there are delicate pastel colors and terry varieties. In a spring flower bed, you can often find blue, beige, snow-white, cream, lilac, tender pink anemone.

Anemone oak anemone oak

Dubravnaya anemone... It reaches a height of 20-30 cm. It goes well with other plants, forming a blowing with annuals in the same flower bed. The rhizome is fragile, articulated, grows well. Therefore, it is better to enclose the growth zone with solid plates. Flowers are distinguished by their unpretentiousness. Despite their nondescript appearance, they bring a lot of joy to the spring garden.

Buttercup anemone photo

Buttercup anemone... It is small in height - 20-25 cm with small flowers up to 2 cm in diameter. In the wild, it is often white. Branched roots with numerous processes. In cultivated varieties, you can find lilac, blue and pink specimens. The main feature is that it can grow in any soil, anywhere. For this I fell in love with landscape designers.

Summer, autumn types of anemone

Japanese autumn anemone

Japanese anemone... A graceful bush with several flowering stems. No more than half a meter in height, if you observe the necessary proportions of feeding and watering. Otherwise, the anemone will not reach its varietal height. Popular among gardeners varieties: "Prince Heinrich" bright pink, burgundy "Pamina".

Anemone hybrid Pamina

Anemone hybrid... Tall plant with a strong root system. It tolerates frosty winters well if the roots are well covered and the green part is cut off. Popular varieties: Honorene Jobert with simple white or pinkish flowers, Profusion in a bright deep burgundy color, Queen Charlotte with incomparable bright pink semi-double flowers.

Anemone crown photo

Crown anemone... It surprises with its ability to bloom twice during the warm period: at the beginning and at the end of summer to mid-autumn. Its stem is durable, it is resistant to strong gusts of wind. The height of the crown anemones variety reaches one and a half meters in favorable conditions. The flowers have a rich color: red "Don Juan", blue "Lord Jim", "Mister Fokin". On the bush, up to several dozen flowers with different shades are collected. It all depends on the location: on the north side, the colors are richer and brighter, and where the sun is bright - light shades.
To create a harmoniously blooming flower bed, it is better to use several varieties and types of anemones. Then you can create a composition that will bloom from early spring to late autumn.

Do you want your garden to blaze with different colors and delight you, your neighbors, and your bees? Then plant anemones, and they will pleasantly surprise you with their rare flowering, subject to any breeze (not without reason, in translation from Greek, anemone is "the daughter of the winds"), their compact size and relative undemanding care.

Types and varieties of anemones

The most popular types of anemones are as follows:

Anemones can also be further divided into 2 large groups: tuberous and rhizome. Rhizomes are more of a forest species. In stores, you can usually find exactly tuberous.

Worth knowing! Rhizome (forest) anemones are more unpretentious to care for than tuberous.

Growing rhizome anemones or their reproduction by division

It is optimal to divide the rhizomes in the spring. This is due to the fact that during this period the movement of the sap inside the plant is somewhat slowed down, which means that the flower will be able to take root normally after division.

Note! Reproduction by dividing rhizomes should be performed only with anemones older than 4-5 years.

What needs to be done to separate the rhizomes of the anemone:

1. Dig up the rhizomes themselves.
2. Cut into pieces 5-6 centimeters long and with at least one, or preferably several, renewal buds on each.
3. Plant horizontally into a previously prepared hole to a depth of the same 5-6 centimeters.

Planting anemone tubers for germination and subsequent planting of seedlings in open ground

The timing of planting tubers

Various sources often indicate that it is already possible to plant anemone tubers starting in February. However, if you are going to plant tubers so early, then you will have to supplement the seedlings with special phytolamps or more economical LED counterparts. Even on the lightest southern windowsill in the apartment at this time there is still an insufficient amount of natural light, which means that the plant will necessarily stretch out, and such delicate flowers as anemones, when pulled, will eventually bloom very weakly and sluggishly in the first year.

Thus, it is better to postpone the planting of anemone tubers to a later date, for example, to do it in the second half of March or even better in early April.

How to soak tubers

Important! If the tubers of the anemones are very small, then there is a high probability that the flowers will not bloom in the first year. Therefore, when buying planting material in the store, pay attention to the size of the nodules, choosing the largest ones.

To grow anemones, first of all, they must be properly prepared for planting, namely, soak the tubers in water.

Important! How not right soak: put the tubers of the anemones in a container (glass), then pour water along with the head and stand for a day. This cannot be done - the anemones will simply die. They cannot be without air, they immediately begin to suffocate and emit a very disgusting, one might say, pharmacy odor mixed with ammonia.

How right soak the tubers of the anemones:

1. Take a napkin, cotton pads or even better a rag and put it in a container (container).
2. Now you need to wet it in one of the fungicide solutions (the most popular, but still somewhat weak - "Fitosporin" or the lesser known, but strong enough "Maxim Dachnik") or a growth stimulator ("Zircon" or "Epin").
3. Place the tubers on a soaked napkin, cotton pads or rag and cover with a dry rag, cotton pad or napkin on top.
4. For the best effect, cover the container itself with plastic wrap.
5. Keep until completely swollen, which usually takes 30 minutes to 3 hours (depending on the quality of the planting material).
6. If you have soaked tubers in Epin, then after swelling they must be rinsed in warm water.
7. Everything! The nodules are now ready to be potted.

Planting capacity and soil

Anemones do not like transplants, so it is advisable to plant them in separate containers. Moreover, very small pots (at least 250-300 ml) are not very suitable for planting. It is even better to use cut containers for milk or juice (liter) or 0.5 liter plastic glasses, in which it is imperative to make drainage holes, for example, one hole at the bottom will be enough.

Fertile and loose soil mixture is required. You can prepare it by taking peat and sand in equal amounts, or by buying a ready-made mixture for flower seedlings in a garden store.

Planting tubers

It is very simple to plant anemone tubers for germination: fill the pots with soil, then spill with phytosporin and plant (deepen) the tuber with a sprout (which became more noticeable after swelling) upwards, then spill it again with water so that the soil settles, and part of the sprout appears. Put in a bright, but cool enough place where the temperature is maintained within + 16-20 degrees.

Advice! Place a folded piece of paper at the bottom of the pots so that when the root system grows, it does not run out through the drainage holes.

Video: planting anemones tubers for germination at home

Seedling care

It is very desirable that anemones seedlings be grown at a low temperature of +16 degrees. If the air is too dry, and the heat is +25 degrees, these plants will wither.

Daylight hours should be at least 12 hours, and ideally 14 hours. Therefore, if you have the opportunity, then be sure to supplement your plants.

All care for the anemones that you planted in pots for germination consists in regular watering: the soil should always be moistened, it cannot dry out in any way.

Planting anemones in open ground

It is necessary to plant anemones in open ground only when the threat of return frosts has passed. As a rule, depending on the climatic characteristics of the region, this moment occurs on average in the month of May.

Anemones are ideal for planting in partial shade. A very large shadow does not suit them.

Flowers will not be able to develop normally if there is stagnant water, as, in fact, most plants. In other words, they love good drainage, which is easy to make from fragments of bricks, rubble, or small river stones.

The soil they need is loose and nutritious, and it is desirable that from above it was still mulched with some kind of organic matter. To make the soil looser, you can add sand to it.

Step-by-step instructions for planting anemones in open ground with sprouted tubers:

1. Choose the optimal drop-off location.
2. Prepare the planting hole by filling it with ash and humus.
3. Remove the seedlings from the pot along with the earthen clod and plant them in the hole.
4. It is better to make the distance between plantings about 15-20 cm.
5. Water moderately and mulch the plantings 4-5 centimeters.

By the way! You can plant pre-soaked anemones directly in the open field. The planting technology is no different, unless you need to deeply deepen the tubers.

Features of planting and caring for tender anemone (Blanda)

Anemone Blanda has nothing to do with crown. It does not require digging for the winter or even shelter. In general, caring for this species is quite simple.

It is better to plant Blanda in the fall (in October-early November), but you need to catch it before the frost. Preparation for planting is somewhat different, the tubers must be filled with hot water (+ 70-80 degrees) and soaked for 2 days (it is better to change the water 2-3 times a day) so that they swell enough. It is necessary to plant blanda tubers to a depth of 4-5 centimeters at a distance of 2-3 centimeters from each other, preferably in a separate basket filled with a loose substrate. After planting, the basket must be buried in any flower bed or rock garden. You should also water the plantings with warm water for some time for their better rooting.

Video: planting and caring for anemone blanda (tender)

Growing anemones from seeds

Anemones can be grown from seed, but unfortunately, most seed growers get disastrous negative results. This is due to the fact that the germination capacity of even freshly harvested seeds is about 1/4, and they must first undergo stratification, in other words, they must be left for about 2-3 months in a cold and humid place (for example, in the refrigerator on the bottom shelf) ... Thus, if you want to plant anemone seeds in the spring, they must be laid for stratification in January. Planting seeds for seedlings (in March) and further care are fairly standard. The main thing is not to bury the seeds.

Therefore, it is best to plant anemones with seeds in the fall. During the winter they will undergo natural stratification, and in the spring they hatch, and you will get healthy shoots. But we must be prepared for the fact that no more than 25% will rise anyway.

Outdoor care for anemones

Caring for anemones is quite simple, but at the same time quite laborious. The main thing in care is the constant maintenance of soil moisture.However, it is also impossible to fill in and allow stagnation of moisture, otherwise the roots of the plant may begin to rot. Therefore, as mentioned earlier, the landing site must have good drainage, or it must be located on a hill. The use of mulch, which can be taken from fallen leaves, peat, sawdust, or some other organic matter, will help to preserve moisture. Mulching will not only help your plant stay hydrated longer, but it will also prevent weeds from growing.

Advice! It is especially important to regularly and abundantly water the anemones during their budding period and on hot summer days. Watering, of course, should be done in the morning and evening (after sunset).

As for dressings, they are not particularly required. However, for better development and flowering, you can use mineral and organic fertilizers during the period of budding and direct flowering. A solution of wood ash and humus is perfect for this.

Important! In no case, do not try to use fresh manure for feeding.

Anemones should be periodically weeded from weeds and loosened after watering, but this should be done very carefully, because the root system of this flower is located very shallow.

Anemones winter well, but their mulching layer for the winter must be increased by 2-3 times and covered with spruce branches or covered with a thick layer of leaves and spunbond.

Important! Here it is worth making a clarification: only rhizome anemones, and not tuberous... Tubers are dug up for the winter and stored in a refrigerator or other cool place until spring planting. But in the harsh conditions of the northern regions (the Urals and Siberia), many gardeners also dig out rhizomes.

Growing anemones at home

Anemone, also called anemone, can be easily grown in flower beds, on balconies in flower beds or at home in pots. Growing anemones at home does not cause much trouble. At home, this plant blooms for six months.

The anemone has beautiful flowers (up to 7 cm in diameter) of white, pink, blue, purple, lilac, lilac and red shades. Moreover, among the lush leaves they grow one at a time, reaching a length of 15 cm. If the plants are provided with good conditions for growth (especially lighting), then up to 50 flowers can bloom successively on one plant.

It is easy to grow anemone from seed. It is best to sow them in early spring in a seedling container with a nutritious soil mixture. As soon as the seedlings grow up, they can be planted in a flower bed or in pots. If you will grow anemones at home, then you should take a pot with a diameter of at least 20 cm and plant 5-6 plants in it. Thanks to this, you can get up to 150 flowers per season.
It is also easy to grow anemones from corms. To do this, you need to purchase young plants that are specially prepared for planting in open ground or containers for home growing.
The most popular type of anemones to grow in pots is Decaenne. These plants are the most persistent and hardy, while being unusually beautiful.
What conditions are necessary for growing anemones?
In order for the plant to bloom magnificently, anemones need to provide high-quality lighting. But the seedlings must be protected from the scorching rays of the sun.
Anemone blooms best when the indoor temperature is around 7 degrees. The plant also develops normally at temperatures up to 15 degrees.

This plant needs to provide good drainage and maintain constant soil moisture. On hot days, it is better to water anemones twice a week (even more often).But only planted corms are best kept in dry soil for a while.
Anemones grow well in dry, cool rooms with good and constant ventilation. It is better not to spray the plant at all, since fungal diseases will begin to develop on wet leaves.
The best soil for this plant is considered to be a clay mixture specially designed for indoor plants. A soilless substrate is also suitable.
Anemones need feeding depending on what kind of soil they are growing in. It is better to introduce liquid fertilizers into clay soils with an interval of ten days, and into a soilless substrate - with a five-day interval. Fertilizers must be diluted in the proportion indicated on the package.

After flowering is complete, it is imperative to remove wilted flower heads. This will allow more new buds to form. Cutting flower stems is best at soil level. When the flowering period is completely over and new peduncles cease to appear, and the leaves begin to fade, the corms can be dug out of the ground. They must be dried and planted in a flower bed. For growing anemones at home, they will not work, otherwise you will not get a lush blooming of anemones.

The anemone genus, which includes more than one and a half hundred species, belongs to the Buttercup family and has been successfully grown in our gardens for many years when planted and nurtured in the open field.

The word anemone came to us from Greek and means "daughter of the winds." Not surprisingly, the other name for this flower is "anemone".

Types and varieties

The easiest way to classify anemones is by season.

Spring anemones quickly fade, their inflorescences have a delicate pastel color, some varieties have double flowers.

Anemone tender or blanda it is a short flower reaching a maximum of 10 cm in height. The most common varieties are: Blue Shadow (blue), Enchantress (pink) and Splendor (white).

Dubravnaya anemone reaches 30 cm in height, flowers are small, usually white, but there are lilac, blue, scarlet varieties. This is a rather unpretentious view.

Buttercup anemone also attracts with its unpretentiousness, it is distinctive that it can grow in almost all soils. Flowers are yellow, medium-sized.

TO autumn anemones include: Japanese, hybrid and castellated.

Usually plants of this type are large perennial shrubs with massive roots. Flowering, respectively, occurs in late summer - early autumn.

Crowned anemone blooms twice - in June and autumn.

Anemone hybrid a tall variety that grows above half a meter. The flowers are simple, the color differs depending on the variety.

Japanese anemone is also a rather tall view with double or semi-double pink flowers.

Anemone planting and care

Caring for an anemone is not particularly difficult. The most important thing is moisture during the green mass build-up period. The thing is that at high humidity, the roots can rot, and at low humidity, the size of the bush and the quality of flowering will be damaged.

To normalize moisture levels, plant flowers in an elevated, drained area. It is also helpful to cover the soil around the planted flowers with mulch.

In the spring, during the growing season, the anemone will be enough for one watering for 7 days. In summer, with moderate heat, watering is not needed (crown anemone needs to be watered in summer during flowering). If the summer is sultry, then water the flowers daily a little in the morning or late at night.

During the flowering period, anemones need to be fertilized with liquid organic fertilizers (except for fresh manure), and in the fall - with complex dressings.

You also need to perform procedures such as loosening the soil and removing weeds. In this case, you cannot use glanders, since the roots of the anemone are very delicate.

Do I need to dig up anemones for the winter

In cold winters with the arrival of autumn, anemones should not be left in the soil.Tubers must be carefully dug out, dried a little, cut off the stem and put in the sand, placed in a dark and cool place. At the same time, it is impossible for the room to be too damp, like a cellar.

If your area has a warm winter, you can simply cover the area with leaves or spruce branches.

Anemones planting tubers in autumn

Anemone can be propagated by seed, tubers and root division.

To plant anemones, you need to select an area located in the shade where the flowers will not reach the gusts of wind.

The main requirements for the substrate are fertility and drainage, as well as neutral or alkaline acidity. Loam or leafy earth is suitable in composition.

Before planting, the roots of the anemones dug up in the fall need to be "awakened" by putting them in warm water for a couple of hours. When they get wet, dip them into the sand mixed with peat, about 5 cm. Water the material from time to time, but do not overdo it.

Anemone reproduction by dividing the rhizome

This procedure is usually carried out in the spring. Individuals are dug up and the roots are divided or divided into parts the roots dug up in the fall. In this case, the cut is powdered with charcoal and dried a little. The part of the root must be at least 5 cm long and have a bud.

The material is deepened into the ground by 5 cm in a horizontal position. Anemones obtained from parts of the root will mature only after three years. In addition, to obtain a result, this procedure can only be performed with plants at least 4 years old.

Growing anemones from seeds

If you want to grow a flower from seeds, then be aware that collecting seeds is quite difficult. You need to wait until the flower dries up and collect small fluffy lumps of seeds.

In addition, they have low germination, but if they are stratified for a couple of months, then germination can be increased. To do this, plant the material in containers with loose soil and bury it in the garden, covering it with branches. Thus, the seeds will undergo natural cooling, and in the spring you can plant them.

It is possible to stratify seeds in indoor conditions, but this process is too troublesome.

Diseases and pests

• In general, anemones hardly get sick. It happens that slugs attack them, but you can get rid of this pest by placing a container of chlorinated water next to the flowers.
• Nematode infestation is also found. In this case, the roots of the plant suffer, it is covered with spots and dies. If your anemone has picked up this pest, then it needs to be destroyed and the soil disinfected.
• Plants may flower later if you haven't dug them up for the winter. It also happens if you add too much organic fertilizing.
