Anemone crown planting in autumn and outdoor care

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.

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. Soak in accordance with the instructions, leave for a day before planting in autumn.

Plant the grown and strengthened sprouts 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.

Tubers can cause difficulty, especially if there was no previous experience with tuberous plants. After swelling, tubers will have bud 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 cool, damp weather when the soil can easily give off the roots of the weed. This will not harm the flower.If the flower bed was 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.

Top dressing 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:

• mandatory 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 many 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, for others they do not. After all, a different variety and type requires its own care, which is not always convenient.
By flowering time, there are:

• spring ones 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 blow 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.

Content:

Anemones or "anemones" are perennial herbaceous plants with abundant flowering. Their diversity can be observed almost all over the world. The plant winters well, because some types of anemones are found in regions close to the Arctic.

A necessary condition for their growth is a temperate climate, or, in other words, the presence of 4 seasons a year.

A variety of colors anemone wins the hearts of gardeners, and this flower instantly falls in love with itself. They begin to bloom in April. During the flowering period, additional care is required for anemones.

Often in the fall, they can bloom a second time, but no longer with such a rich color. In the cut with proper care, anemones last long enough, therefore they are often used in composite bouquets and mono-bouquets. Combine with other garden flowers such as peonies.

Anemones planting and care

Choosing a landing site

To begin with, before planting the anemone, you need to carefully choose a place for them. In short, their technical "rider" is as follows: partial shade, lack of neighbors, loose fertile soil and drainage. Anemones love light, but not heat. Therefore, the penumbra option is optimal for them.

Anemones go well with other types of garden plants, but their ramified root system loves freedom. Neighboring plants should not prevent anemones from taking root and claiming their minerals and water.

Soil for anemone

The soil for anemone should not retain moisture. Ordinary sand will help create the necessary soil structure. It will provide the desired level of water permeability and loosen the soil. A hill that will not allow moisture to linger, and drainage will also cope with the task.

Among all the variety, there are both unpretentious and very gentle anemones. And if rhizome anemones are quite unpretentious for themselves, then tuberous anemones do not tolerate mistakes in their cultivation.

But for both of them it is important in what kind of soil they will be planted, it should:

• it is good to be supplied with oxygen, therefore we loosen it at least once a week,
• not to be acidified.

Before planting these flowers, the topsoil should be fertilized with wood ash.

Fertilize the soil with complex mineral fertilizers.

Preparation before landing

Anemones that have tubers instead of roots require more preparation before planting. The tubers are dipped in warm water for several hours and allowed to swell.

Planting material is planted to a depth of 3-7 cm, watered regularly and extremely moderately, so as not to start the process of decay.

It is also important to know that anemones do not like to change their home. And if young plants still survive the transplant, then adult anemones may not recover after the "move". But if the transplant is inevitable and extremely necessary, it is carried out together with a large lump of soil.

Anemones varieties

The number of varieties is about 120.

Anemone varieties with strong roots are most suitable for beginner gardeners.

Anemone blanda or tender anemone

The name justifies its early flowering, delicate color, short stature (stem height about 10 cm) and the fact that by summer the leaves and stems of flowers die off.

Anemone blanda

Crown anemone

It rightfully bears its name. This is a favorite type of anemone among novice gardeners. It is the crown anemone that is the largest flower among the anemone (up to 10 cm in diameter), has many colors and even more varieties of hybrids.

Crown anemone

So, for example, a non-terry crown anemone of the De Caen variety grows up to 70 cm in height, and a terry anemone of the San Bridget variety is crowned with a single flower, often of bright red color up to 8 cm in diameter. This species should be transplanted in the spring.

Japanese anemone

This species is distinguished by a bright yellow core framed by petals of white or pink shades, and a strong slender stem about a meter high that does not require support.

The Japanese anemone bush simultaneously produces a large number of buds, each of which is at least 6 cm in diameter.

It is worth noting that in the first year, anemones seem to look closely at the terrain and grow slowly. But having mastered, they gather in the colony, and here the question of plant division is already acute. The root system of all anemones does not tolerate density and neighborhood.

Anemone planting and care outdoors in autumn

Separation of rhizomes and planting in the ground is best done in spring, when the temperature in the room and outside the window is about the same. It is important that there are buds on each divided section of the rhizome. They are responsible for the further growth of the plant.

But there are also advantages when planting anemone tubers in the fall. When planting tubers in the fall, anemones will bloom from the end of spring. Planting in the fall must be mulched.

When planting tubers in several stages, flowering will last all summer - from July to September.

The right level of humidity is the main condition for the success of growing. Mulch will save you from lack of moisture.

Winter storage of anemone tubers

Anemones are a perennial plant; in temperate climates, they can be left for the winter directly in the ground, insulating it on top with a layer of mulch, which prevents moisture evaporation.

In harsh climates, the tubers or roots of the anemone will have to be dug up, dried and stored in a cool dry place until spring.

In October, the aerial part of the anemones is cut off, dug up and dried for about a month in a cool place (10-15 degrees). Tubers are stored isolated from each other in boxes with sand or sawdust in a cool place. To avoid drying out, sand or other soil is moistened.

We advise you to read: Planting and leaving the Lavater

The name of the plant anemone (Anemone), or anemone comes from the Greek word, which means "daughter of the winds". The fact is that even from the slightest gust of wind, the petals of such a plant begin to flutter. This herbaceous perennial is a member of the Buttercup family. In nature, it can be found in regions with a temperate climate of both hemispheres, while it prefers to grow in mountainous regions and on plains. There are about 160 species that bloom in different ways and at different times, which is why even growers with considerable experience are often confused.

Growing features

There are a large number of species and varieties of anemones, while some of them are unpretentious to growing conditions, while others, on the contrary, should be provided with special care. And the thing is that some species are tuberous, while others are rhizome. It is the rhizome species that are distinguished by their unpretentiousness and ease of care, while the tuberous ones can suffer greatly if they are not properly looked after. There are several features of growing such a flower that you need to know:

1. In dry and very hot weather, they must be watered.
2. In autumn, flowers should be fed with complex mineral fertilizers, and organic matter should be introduced into the soil before planting and in the process of active growth or flowering.
3. To prevent the plants from freezing, in winter they should be covered with a layer of fallen leaves.
4. The easiest way is to propagate this plant by seeds, while they are sown before winter, or by root suckers in spring.

Preparing for planting anemone

How to prepare the ground

Before proceeding with the direct planting of the anemones, you should find the most suitable site, and also prepare the ground. A suitable area should be spacious, in partial shade and protected from drafts. A strongly growing rhizome is very fragile, even contact can harm them. In addition, excessive heat, as well as a draft, can harm these flowers. The soil should be loose, nutritious and well-drained. The best option is deciduous soil or loam with peat. To make the soil loose, ordinary sand should be poured into it. If the soil is acidic, then this can be corrected by adding wood ash or dolomite flour.

How to prepare seeds

When growing anemones from seeds, it must be remembered that they have an extremely low germination rate. About ¼ of the seeds will be able to germinate, while they must be freshly harvested. To increase the percentage of germination of seeds, they must be stratified, they are placed in a cold place for 4–8 weeks. To do this, combine the seeds with peat or coarse sand (1: 3), the mixture must be abundantly moistened. Then it is sprayed with water every day to keep it moist all the time. After the seeds are swollen, they must be combined with a small amount of the substrate, everything is well mixed and abundantly sprayed with water. Then the seeds are harvested in a well-ventilated room, where it should not be warmer than 5 degrees.A few days after the sprouts appear, the bowl with the seeds must be transferred to the yard, where it is buried in snow or in the soil, the surface is sprinkled with straw or sawdust. At the very beginning of spring, transplant the seeds into boxes so that they germinate. If there is no desire to bother much with the cultivation of anemones, then in the autumn, sow the seeds in containers filled with loose soil. Then the boxes should be buried in the yard, while on top they are covered with cut branches. In winter, they will undergo natural stratification. In springtime, the seeds should be removed from the soil and planted.

Preparing anemone tubers

Before planting anemone tubers, they should be awakened from sleep. To do this, they are immersed in lukewarm water for several hours to swell. Then they are planted in pots filled with a moistened substrate consisting of sand and peat, they need to be buried only 50 mm. The potted substrate must be systematically moistened with moderate moisture. Also, before planting, the tubers can be "soaked", for this they are wrapped with a cloth, which is abundantly moistened with an epin solution and placed in a polyethylene bag, where they must stay for 6 hours. The tubers prepared in this way can be immediately planted in open soil.

Planting anemones in open ground

Planting anemone tubers in open soil is relatively easy, but it is imperative to determine the growing point. If the tubers are pre-processed and allowed to swell, the buds will become clearly distinguishable, so you can understand how to plant them correctly. If there are doubts about the location of the growing point, then it should be borne in mind that the top of the tuber is always flat, so they must be planted down with the sharp end. If the tuber has a non-standard shape, then it must be planted with its side.

The depth of the hole should be about 0.15 m, and its diameter should reach 0.3–0.4 m. One handful of wood ash and humus should be poured into the hole, then the tuber is placed in it. It is covered with soil, which is tamped a little. The planted tubers need abundant watering.

Planting anemone seeds

Seedlings should be planted that have at least two true leaf plates. Seedlings are planted in open soil in light shade in the second year of growth. When planting in autumn, the surface of the site must be covered with foliage or branches. The first flowering of an anemone, which was grown from seeds, will come only after 3 years.

When planting tubers or seeds, given the timing, it is quite possible to ensure that the flowering of these plants lasts from April to November. To do this, you need to purchase various varieties, then they are planted at the recommended time for each of them.

Anemone care

Caring for an anemone is very simple. The most important thing is to ensure the correct moisture level throughout the growing season. If the soil is waterlogged, then rot may appear on the roots, which will lead to the death of the entire bush. If there is not enough moisture, especially during the formation of buds, this will negatively affect the growth and flowering of the plant. To achieve the optimal level of humidity, such a flower must be planted on a hill, while the site must have good drainage. It is recommended to cover the surface of the area with planted anemones with a layer of mulch (peat or leaves of fruit trees), its thickness is about 50 mm.

Watering

In springtime, such flowers need to be watered once every 7 days. If it rains regularly in the summer, then you do not need to water the anemones, with the exception of the crown anemones when it blooms. If it is dry and hot in summer, then watering is carried out every morning and evening after the sun goes down.

Top dressing

During the flowering period, such a plant should be provided with organic feeding (only fresh manure cannot be used). And in the fall, you need to feed them with a complex mineral fertilizer.If all the necessary fertilizers were added to the soil during planting, then there is no need to feed the anemone at all.

You should also systematically loosen the soil and pull out weeds, while a hoe cannot be used for weeding, since there is a risk of injury to the fragile system of flower roots.

Diseases and pests

This plant is resistant to disease. Snails or slugs can settle on the bushes. They must be picked by hand and the plants themselves are sprayed with metaldehyde. Sometimes leaf nematodes or caterpillars of the scoop (winter worm) settle on the bushes. Bushes infected with a nematode must be dug up and burned, while the soil on the site must be replaced.

Anemone breeds

Such a flower can be propagated by dividing the rhizome, seeds, tubers, or dividing the bush. How to grow an anemone from seeds and propagate with tubers is described in detail above. To divide the rhizomes in the spring, they must be removed from the soil and divided into parts, the length of which should be 50 mm. A kidney should be present on each cut, they are planted in loose soil, placed horizontally and buried by only 50 mm. Such anemone will be fully mature only after 3 years. If the plant is 4 or 5 years old, then it can be transplanted with the division of the bush.

After flowering

When growing anemones in mid-latitudes in the fall, they need to be dug up and prepared for wintering. For dried tubers, it is necessary to remove the aboveground part, then they are buried in sand or peat and stored in a cool dark room, for example, in a non-damp basement. If it is assumed that there will be no frost in winter, then the flowers can be left in the soil. For this, the surface of the site must be covered with a thick layer of loose leaves or covered with spruce branches, which will save the plants from frost.

Types of anemone with photos and names

Both in natural conditions and in culture, a fairly large number of species and varieties of anemones grow. Below is a description of the most popular of them.

All types of flowering time are divided into spring and autumn (summer). Spring species are distinguished by their elegance and variety of colors, while they are painted in bed colors, for example: cream, blue, snow white, pink, lilac, etc. There are terry varieties.

Spring species are ephemeroids with a very short aerial flowering cycle. They wake up in April, amicable flowering is observed in May, while in July they begin a dormant period, while the foliage of most species does not fade until autumn.

Also, anemones are divided according to the type of rhizome, for example, the tender anemone has a slow-growing tuberous rhizome, and the oak and buttercup anemone has a jointed rhizome, which is distinguished by its fragility.

Anemone blanda

Such a miniature plant reaches a height of only 5 to 10 centimeters. The most popular varieties are: Blue Shades (blue), Charmer (pink), White Splendor (white).

Anemone nemorosa

This species is relatively low in popularity among mid-latitude gardeners. The bush reaches a height of 0.2 to 0.3 m. Simple flowers have a diameter equal to 20–40 mm, as a rule, they are painted white, but there are varieties whose flowers have lilac, blue and pink colors. There are terry varieties. The main feature of this species is its unpretentiousness.

Anemone ranunculoides

This unpretentious species also has terry varieties. The bush reaches a height of 20 to 25 centimeters. The rich yellow flowers are somewhat smaller than those of the oak anemone. This species can be grown in almost any soil.

Autumn (summer) anemones include the following types: anemone japanese (Anemone japonica), anemone hybrid (Anemone hybrida) and crown anemone (Anemone coronaria).

Most often these are large perennial plants with a well-branched powerful root system. Flowering is observed from the last summer weeks to mid-autumn. The flowering of the crown anemone is observed twice per season: in the first summer weeks and in autumn. Autumn species have slender and powerful peduncles, which reach 0.8–1 m in height, and there are several dozen semi-double or simple flowers of various colors on them. The most popular are the following varieties of crown anemones:

• anemone de caen - simple single flowers of various colors;
• Mr Fokker - the color of the flowers is blue.

Terry anemone has varieties such as Lord Jim with blue flowers and Don Juan with deep red flowers. Popular varieties of hybrid anemones are: Honorine Jobert - white flowers, slightly pink below; Profusion - semi-double flowers of dark purple color; Queen Charlotte - semi-double flowers of deep pink color. The most popular are the following varieties of Japanese anemones: Pamina - large double flowers are painted in a dark pink, almost burgundy color; Hadspen Abundance is a tall plant with cream colored flowers; Prinz Heinrich - deep pink semi-double flowers.

Anemones are a wonderful decoration for any garden. Delicate, beautiful flowers are the dream of any florist. Some varieties of this plant require special care, while others are quite unpretentious. Planting flowers outdoors is possible even in autumn.

Most popular varieties

There are a huge number of types. Some of them bloom in spring, while others, on the contrary, in summer or autumn. Some love the shade, others love the sun. Exist frost-resistant and thermophilic species... Below are some of the most popular types.

Crowned anemone

Crowned - the most beautiful anemone. The flowers of this plant are large enough, as well as a variety of shades. But this type of plant is extremely picky about the environment. The cored one is recommended to be dug for the winter. In this case, the usual cycle is completely lost.

If in nature it begins to bloom in early summer. After flowering, its leaves completely dry out. And in the fall, it blooms again. Then, when planting in spring, it blooms in mid-summer, and the second bloom occurs along with frost and snow.

Crowned

De Caen

The De Caen variety belongs to the crown species. Blooms in early summer. And in the fall it repeats itself. Flowers of this variety are distinguished by a huge variety of shades. Lush bush, grows up to 45-55 centimeters in height.

De Caen

Delicate

Delicate - frost-resistant, unpretentious plant. Differs in its small size. Gentle grows in height up to 5-10 centimeters... The plant blooms in early spring. Flowers bloom with leaves. The flowers are blue, white and pink. Delicate blooms 2-3 weeks.

One disadvantage of the plant is poor tuber germination. Out of ten purchased tubers, only two or even one tuber can germinate.

White

White or oak - the most tenacious and unpretentious among other species. It blooms in early spring for 3-4 weeks. The height of the bush is 20-25 centimeters, and the flowers are 2-3 centimeters in diameter. Dubravnaya is found most often with white flowers.

White

Ordinary

The common anemone blooms in early spring. The flowers are like bells. It does not require special care... From the planted seeds, they will bloom only after two years. But then they will delight for many years and at the same time do not require any care.

Ordinary

Can anemones be grown outdoors?

Florists successfully grow anemones outdoors. These flowers easy to care for, but demanding on the soil... Flowers require loose, "breathing" soil so that moisture does not linger in it. In order to make the soil loose, it is enough to mix it with sand.

It is also important to know that they do not thrive in acidic soil.

When is the best time to plant flowers?

Planting time can be in the spring or fall. It all depends on the region and the climate in this region.

In southern natural areas, plants are best planted in the spring... In the northern regions they are planted in the falland the flowers take root well. Planting them in stages can extend flowering from mid-summer to fall. Planted anemones in winter in spring can please with flowering.

Planting plants in open ground

In spring, anemone can be planted in the shade, or planted in an open place for sunlight. But in this case, it must be remembered that in summer the rays of the sun can harm the plant. It is also required to choose a place for flowers that will be well protected from the wind.

Before planting, anemone tubers are soaked in a root stimulator

Tubers need to be planted to a depth of 3 to 5 centimeters... The distance between tubers should be at least 9-10 centimeters.

After planting, it is necessary to fertilize the soil with humus or loose peat. So that they please with lush flowering, before the flowers bloom, it is important to nourish the plants with complex fertilizers.

Spring is growing rapidly and need to seat... This should be done as soon as they fade.

If they are planted in open ground in the fall, they will bloom in early spring. It is important to plant anemones before frost. It should be remembered that if winters are famous for severe frosts, then it is better to dig up the tubers of the plant.

It is important to remember that if anemones are planted in the fall without drainage, they will be sore due to excess moisture.

Care after landing

It's easy to look after them. An important point in this task is create the right hydration... An excess of moisture will lead to root rot and subsequent death.

• If there is little moisture for the plant during bud formation, this situation can harm growth and flowering.
• So that there is enough moisture you should not plant a flower in the lowlandsand it is also important to pay special attention to drainage.
• After planting, it is recommended to cover the ground with tree leaves or peat.

It is necessary to fertilize during flowering and in autumn. Organic and complex fertilizers are suitable as top dressing. They don't like fresh manuretherefore it should not be used as a fertilizer.

It is also required to loosen the ground and remove weeds. In addition, you should collect snails and slugs that feed on anemones.

If the plant is sick, it is important to take appropriate measures in time. It is important to remove the sick and not let the nearby anemones get infected. The bushes of the flower grow. Therefore it is important transplant and divide bushes of plants that are already 4-5 years old.

Preparing for winter

For the winter, the tubers of anemones must be dug up.

The climate of the central region of Russia does not allow to leave tubers in the soil... Therefore, it is important to remove them and prepare them for storage until spring. Tubers dug up and dried... The remaining leaves must be removed. The tubers are stored in sand or peat in a dark, cool room.

If we are talking about the southern regions, where winters are warm, anemones need not be dug up. You just need to cover them with foliage, peat or compost.

It should be dug up in the fall for winter storage only at the moment when the leaves of the plant are dry.

Reproduction

There are two ways to breed:

• Seminal
• Vegetative

Seeds

Anemone seeds

Seed method difficult enough... The difficulty lies in the fact that the seeds of the plant must be fresh. Only fresh seeds can germinate. But even the freshness of the seeds cannot guarantee the successful reproduction of the anemone.

The seeds must be sown in the box, and the box itself must be bury... After the sprouts appear, the box is dug up, and the sprouts are planted in the ground.

You can also pre-soak the seeds to make them swell. Then put it in a pot with prepared soil. Then take the pot outside and bury it in the ground.

Vegetative

Vegetative propagation is considered more effective than seed propagation. To do this, in the spring, they dig up a plant and separate tubers... It is important that at least one bud remains on the separated tubers. To make the roots grow better, you can use any biostimulant.

Only proper care and attention will help to grow bright anemones. They will decorate the garden with their lovely flowers from spring to late autumn.
