Anemones de caenne planting and care in the open field

Often, gardeners grow beautiful and perennial flowers on their backyards, in particular, such as de Caen anemones. This variety is distinguished by long flowering, ease of planting and maintenance.

Basically, it is planted to create vibrant flower arrangements near borders. Many flower growers decorate windows and balconies with these plants.

What are the types of anemone?

Anemones come in many different types and varieties. The difference in species lies in the fact that some develop with the help of the rhizome, while others develop with the tuber. Varieties of flowers with rhizomes are completely undemanding to the conditions of planting and caring for them is extremely simple. Tuberous anemones require preliminary preparation, as otherwise they may die. Among the main varieties, one can distinguish such as:

• Japanese anemone;
• anemone de Caen;
• anemone is tender.

The Japanese anemone was obtained by crossing different varieties. It is a perennial plant with a fairly tall and thin stem, reaching a height of about a meter. This variety blooms with large pale pink flowers, the size of which reaches 8 cm. These flowers form lush inflorescences. Through numerous experiments, scientists have bred a variety of Japanese anemones that bloom with red double flowers.

Anemone tender belongs to the undersized species and is very popular among flower growers. The maximum stem height can reach 10-12 cm. This anemone begins to bloom at the end of April and is distinguished by beautiful small flowers of blue, cream, pink or white. With the onset of summer, the stems and flowers almost completely die off. The main advantage of this plant is its unpretentiousness to moisture and temperature.

Anemone "de Caen", the photo of which clearly shows all the beauty of this variety, belongs to the subspecies crown. This variety begins to bloom in early summer, and during the dry season, its foliage dries up. In autumn, young shoots appear again. This plant has single and simple flowers, however, its main advantage is the variety of colors. Variety "de Caen" has a well-branched root system and high stems, reaching up to half a meter in height. He can easily decorate absolutely any personal plot in the autumn.

Features of planting anemone

Planting of anemones "de Caen" is carried out in the spring, since it is during this period that there is a minimal movement of juices in the tubers, as a result of which their division practically does not harm the plant. It is worth remembering that prepared tubers without proper treatment can be kept without soil for no more than 1-2 days, otherwise, the flower may simply not rise. To preserve the tubers throughout the year, you need to thoroughly peel and dry them in a shaded place.

Only plants that are at least 5 years old are subject to reproduction, since otherwise you can simply destroy the flower. For planting, it is advisable to separate the tubers, carefully shaking them off the ground, as this will allow the flowers to take root much better in a new place.

Planting tubers requires preliminary preparation. To do this, they need to be soaked for 1-2 hours in warm water. This is considered the key to successful germination.

How are seeds planted?

Planting de Caenne anemones in autumn can be carried out using seeds. In this case, winter sowing is carried out. If it was not possible to plant them in the fall, then about 1.5-2 months before sowing seeds in the spring, some preparation is required. For this you need:

• immerse the seeds in a container with sand;
• the container must be regularly moistened, avoiding drying out;
• when the seeds swell a little, the container must be moved to the refrigerator;
• buried sprouted seeds in the ground, covering with straw or sawdust, and then with snow;
• in early spring, move the plants to a container with a nutrient medium.

The grown seedlings need to be transplanted into the soil only in the fall, and for the winter, cover the young shoots with rotted leaves. They will bloom only after 3 years.

Features of the division of the root system

Many are interested in when to plant de Caen anemones, how to do it correctly. In early spring, you can plant bushes by dividing the root system. To do this, you need to very carefully dig up the anemone bush, divide it into several parts and plant it in separate holes, well fertilized with ash, peat and sand. The rhizome should be sprinkled with earth and watered well.

Where is the best place to plant a flower?

Planting and caring for de Caenne anemones largely depends on the location in the garden. This plant prefers an open space that is spacious and somewhat shaded. This delicate and fragile flower, although called an anemone, however, does not tolerate drafts and wind at all, which is important to consider when choosing a place for planting.

The bright rays of the sun also negatively affect the plant, therefore, it is best to choose a place that is sheltered from the wind and located in a little shade. It is better to plant the de caenne anemone on a small hill, preferring light and loose soil. The water should not stagnate, therefore, a good drainage layer must be made before planting.

What should be the soil?

To appreciate all the beauty of the plant, it is worth looking at the photo of the de Caenne anemone. Planting and caring for a flower is not difficult, however, it requires some preparation. Loamy, loose soil with a neutral alkaline balance is well suited for planting this plant. To do this, add dry leaf mulch, wood ash, humus and sand to the prepared soil. The root system does not tolerate too dense soil. That is why, in the summer, you need to loosen the soil several times, add sand, mulch, pebbles. The root system requires a regular supply of oxygen.

In some cases, just a simple weeding is sufficient to provide air access to the root system. However, it is worth remembering that loosening must be done very carefully so as not to damage the fragile root system.

Plant care

Caring for the de Caenne anemone is quite simple. In too dry and hot times, care consists in regular abundant watering.In addition, the root system needs periodic feeding with organic and mineral fertilizers. When planting plants in the soil, it is necessary to add organic fertilizers to the soil, stimulating growth and abundant bright flowering, and in the fall, mineral fertilizers are applied to the soil, contributing to the restoration of phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium.

In winter, no special care is needed for the plant, however, it is recommended to cover them with dry leaves, straw or sawdust so that they do not freeze. It is important to remember that anemones absolutely do not tolerate acidic soil and excess moisture, as it can provoke root rot. These flowers are resistant to diseases, and only snails and slugs can harm them, therefore, you need to periodically spray the bushes with a solution of metaldehyde.

Lighting and watering the plant

Planting de Caenne anemone flowers and caring for the plant is pretty simple. The most important thing is to do everything consistently. The lighting level should not be very bright, therefore, it is best to plant plants in a few shaded places. In addition, caring for an anemone requires maintaining the required moisture level throughout the growing season. The danger may be in excessive moisture, since the root system may simply die from rot.

Lack of moisture, especially during bud formation, can cause buds to dry out before they bloom. This will interfere with the growth and flowering of the anemones. After planting the plants, it is advisable to cover the soil with a layer of fruit tree leaves or peat. In the spring, you need to moisten the soil once a week.

Fertilization

It is necessary to feed the de Caen anemones during the flowering period with organic fertilizers. However, it is worth remembering that they cannot tolerate fresh manure. In addition, you need to apply complex mineral fertilizers in the autumn. If, during the planting of flowers, fertilizers were applied to the soil, then additional feeding can be excluded. It is recommended to regularly loosen the soil and remove weeds. It is best to pull up weeds by hand, as weeding can damage the fragile root system. When a plant is damaged by a nematode, it is best to completely destroy them, and replace the soil in which they grew.

Features of care in the winter

In the middle lane with a temperate climate in the fall, anemones must be removed from the soil and prepared for wintering. For winter storage, the tubers need to be dried well, cut off the ground part and stored in a dark, cool place, placing the tubers in sand or peat. It is best to store tubers in a dry basement.

You can not dig up the tubers, leaving them in the soil for the winter. To do this, the area with flowers must be covered with fallen leaves or spruce branches so that severe frosts do not destroy the plants. After that, you need to cover the foliage with a layer of snow. Tall bushes should be cut to the ground to prevent freezing.

How is flower propagation carried out?

Reproduction of anemones is carried out using seeds, tubers, dividing the shrub and rhizome. Plant propagation by seeds is rarely used, since it requires a special approach, and the germination rate of seeds is only 25%. Despite all the complexities of the seed method, many gardeners use it to grow healthy shrubs.

The most common method of reproduction is tuberous, however, shrubs over 5 years old are suitable for this.

Growing anemones at home

Planting and caring for an anemone at home does not cause any difficulties at all. You can plant flowers using seeds or tubers. If seeds are used for planting plants, then initially you need to grow seedlings in containers with drainage holes filled with nutrient soil. Then slightly grown seedlings need to be planted in pots, 4-6 pieces each. The containers should be large enough so that the anemones are not cramped.This method of planting will be able to provide a grower with 100-150 beautiful flowers in a pot, blooming one after another throughout the growing season.

It is much easier to grow an anemone from flowers. All you need to do is simply purchase tubers and plant them in loose, fertile soil with good drainage at the bottom of the pot. Follow-up care should be exactly the same as the maintenance of garden specimens.

The flowering dicotyledonous plants of anemones have several dozen varieties, among which the crown anemone has the most varied color. This species includes the "de Caen" varietal group.

General information

Anemone is the Russian transliteration of the Latin name for the plant. The name itself comes from the Greek word for "wind". One of the translation options for the word "anemone" is "daughter of the wind." Anemone was known to the ancient Greeks, and some of them believed that the flower opens or closes depending on the wind.

Anemone seeds

Subsequently, this opinion was considered erroneous, but the name remained. However, the anemone does sway a lot in the wind, and its petals can fly off from strong gusts.

The crown anemone came to the middle lane from southern European and Middle Eastern countries. It is a perennial plant with a tuberous rhizome, belongs to the family

Buttercup. The anemone grows to a height of 30 cm. Part of the leaves are collected in basal rosettes. The leaves sit on petioles, are divided into narrow lobes, which are present in large quantities on each leaf.

The leaves located on the peduncles are solid, sessile, have no petioles. Dense thick shoots of the plant are low-leafed.

Anemone de Caen is a typical crown species. Saucer-shaped flowers of pink, white, red or blue color with flat individual petals reach 8 cm in diameter, less often - 10 cm, have a simple non-double shape. The relatively large central part of the flower can be colored in several tones and has a convex shape. The velvet pistil is bordered by a large number of stamens.

The plant blooms twice a year - in spring and autumn. Anemone de Caen, like other representatives of this genus, is distinguished by its high winter hardiness - up to almost -30 ° C. Individual flowers can often be found even in winter when the snow melts. Flowering of one specimen lasts almost a month. The flower shape of the anemone is very similar to the poppy.

The graceful flowers of the de Caenne anemones will add airiness and lightness to any garden area. In group compositions, it looks good in the vicinity of primroses - scylla, primrose and others, forming a blooming carpet almost after the snow cover disappears in spring.

Single plants will stand out with bright color accents against the background of creeping decorative leafy crops such as mosses and various succulents.

With individual species groups of anemones, you can decorate the root spaces around garden trees, place them along the garden paths. Anemone de Caen will perfectly decorate an alpine slide or rockery. In separate pots or pots, the plant will decorate a loggia, balcony or summer veranda.

Lat. Anemone

Among perennials, suitable neighbors for this variety will be forget-me-nots, violets, evergreen Iberis, daffodils.

The plant tolerates transportation well and retains freshness for a long time when cut, so florists often use it to create live bouquets. If anemones are grown for cutting, it is recommended to plant them in vegetable beds.

Anemone has long been considered endowed with medicinal properties. So, in China and at present, parts of the plant are used to create remedies for chronic rheumatism. Traditional medicine attributes to anemone the properties of an antiseptic, an analgesic, it is believed that its use in the composition of medicinal products has an anti-inflammatory effect.In addition, parts of the anemone are used as part of remedies for curing paralysis, convulsions, impotence.

Plant care

The best place for planting anemones de Caen will be a spacious area, located in the partial shade of garden trees with a not very dense crown. The anemone grows very much, so you need to provide it with enough space and provide for the presence of other garden crops in the neighborhood so that their root systems do not intertwine and do not interfere with each other, taking away nutrients and oxygen. When determining the area of ​​planting, it should be borne in mind that anemones will grow in the selected area for several years, since they do not tolerate transplanting from one place to another very well.

Blooming anemones

The soil should preferably be light, loose, well-drained, and neutral in acidity. If the soil nutrient is insufficient, it can be pre-fertilized with compost or peat with the addition of sand and wood ash.

As mentioned above, the anemone is very sensitive to gusts of wind and drafts. Therefore, it is recommended to plant it in closed, windproof areas or on the leeward side of the slope.

When planting, the distance between the plants should be more than 5 cm. The depth of the hole is also about 5 cm. The soil in the planting holes is well moistened beforehand. Throughout the entire life cycle of a plant, excluding wintering, anemone requires sufficient watering.

The ground must be constantly moist, especially the flower requires a lot of moisture during periods of drought. But you should avoid stagnant waterlogging of the soil, as this leads to rotting of the underground part of the plant and its disease.

Flower plantings are recommended to be mulched. A layer of mulch will retain more moisture for the root system and minimize weed growth.

Summer paints in the garden

The plant responds positively to regular feeding. Complex mineral fertilizers are best suited for this. In the pre-winter period, to protect against unfavorable climatic conditions and in early spring to recuperate after wintering, as well as during flowering, fertilizer for feeding should contain nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus.

Despite its frost resistance, it is advisable to cover the de Caenne anemone for the winter with a layer of mulch - peat, sawdust or autumn foliage. In some regions, it is better to dig up the tubers of the plant altogether.

This is done after the ground part of the plant dries out a little. It is cut with a sharp knife, and the tubers are carefully dug out.

Storage of anemone tubers is carried out in cotton bags or paper bags. These materials will provide sufficient airflow to prevent suffocation of the tubers. The bags or bags are placed in a dry mixture of peat, sawdust and sand to prevent the contents from drying out. Storage temperature ranges from +4 to + 6 ° C.

Breeding rules

The flower propagation procedure is carried out in early spring. Anemones reproduce:

• seeds;
• tubers;
• parts of the rhizome.

If the seeds are not purchased, but collected from self-grown flowers, you need to select them from the most brightly colored specimens. When propagated by seeds of anemone de Caen in subsequent generations, it loses its brightness and turns pale.

When propagating by seeds, moistened clean sand is taken and mixed with seeds in a ratio of 3: 1. If the moisture is maintained, the seeds will swell after a few days. Then peat is added to them, and the mixture is placed in a cool place.

The container with germinated seeds can be taken outside and placed in a cold greenhouse, where the plants are covered only during the night, when frost is still possible. Seedlings are periodically watered. 2-3 times fertilizing is carried out with mineral complex fertilizer to stimulate the growth of shoots and further development of the root system.

In May, young plants are planted in open ground.

One of the varieties of anemones

For Anemone de Caen, vegetative propagation is preferred.

Before planting the tubers of the plant, they must be soaked in wet gauze or damp sand (moss).

The material is moistened with water with a few drops of growth stimulant diluted in it - Epin, Ribav-extra or aloe juice. Gauze with tubers or a container of sand or moss should be wrapped in plastic to retain moisture.

Then the tubers are planted for rooting. Planting is carried out in containers filled with sand or a mixture of sand and soil. Tubers are placed on the surface without dropping. The container is covered with plastic or glass and placed in a cool place. After 2 weeks, the first growth points and roots can be expected. Tubers are planted in open ground with sprouts up and down with roots. You can carry out an intermediate planting in separate containers, where future plants will strengthen their shoots and root system.

When propagated by parts of rhizomes, the strongest plants are selected. They are carefully dug out, if there is a ground part, it is removed, and the rhizome is divided into 2-3 parts with a sharp knife. These parts are planted in open ground in accordance with the general rules for planting anemones.

While watching the video, you will learn about growing anemones.

Anemone de Caen is a rather unpretentious garden plant, and its decorative properties are very high. Observing the rules of planting and reproduction, as well as caring for a flower, you can grow an excellent decoration for your garden or summer cottage.

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 care 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.

How to sow anemones flowers, see the video:

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 has been 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 of them. 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 is complete

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, 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 mid-spring, when sprouts 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, 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 the necessary proportions of feeding and watering are observed. 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 a 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.

One of the brightest representatives of perennial flowers is anemone de caenne, planting and caring for which will make the garden beautiful and vibrant.

It is enough to just take care of this type of plant, and the different flowering period of different representatives of the species allows you to enjoy this very flowering all summer.

Anemones are divided into types according to the type of development: rhizome or tuber. It is simple to care for species with rhizomes, tuberous flowers are quite sensitive to non-compliance with the rules of planting and care.

Anemone coronaria - a bright representative of the species

Anemone crown has powerful roots of a tuberous type, their diameter varies in the range of 5-8 centimeters. Flowers are located on a stem up to 45 centimeters high and can be multi-colored: white, pink, purple, blue, red, yellow.

A prominent representative of this species is the de caenne anemone, which blooms in early summer and the first months of autumn. In the hottest months (mid and late summer), flowering is not observed, but the green carpet formed by the plant will look quite aesthetically pleasing on the site.

Planting rules for anemones

Before planting anemones, you should choose a suitable place and prepare the soil for the plants. The planting site should be spacious and shaded as flowers are sensitive to direct sunlight.

Another requirement for the normal growth of this garden flower is the absence of drafts. In this regard, it is advisable to choose a place with minimal wind impact.

Before planting, the soil is recommended to be fertilized, drained and slightly loosened; for fertilization and drainage, compost, peat fertilizers, ash from trees and sand are used.

The landing itself can be done using three approaches:

• planting seeds;
• seedling tubers;
• division of plants.

Weight three methods involve planting anemones in the spring. The first one is with the help of seeds. To do this, you need to take the prepared soil (wet sand from the river) and mix it with the prepared seeds of the plant (at the rate of three parts of sand per part of the seeds).

After that, you need to wait a few days until the seeds swell. During this time, it is important to maintain the moisture content of the sand. After these days, peat should be added to the sand with seeds, everything should be mixed and removed to a cool place (the temperature should not be higher than five degrees).

At this time, watch for the appearance of sprouts; when they become visible, the box with seeds must be taken out into the street and buried in snow. Planting and caring for anemonic flowers can begin in April, when all the snow has completely melted.

The second planting method - planting with tubers, is also done in the spring. To carry out such a procedure, you first need to awaken the plant tubers themselves. This can be done by immersing them in warm water (better than room temperature) for three to five hours. After that, for growing anemone, the tubers should be planted in prepared pots with peat and sand. Planting depth is approximately equal to five centimeters. After the plant has grown up, you can plant it in the garden.

For planting in the soil, you need to prepare holes with a diameter of about thirty centimeters and a depth of fifteen centimeters. The soil is pre-fertilized with humus and ash. The grown tuber is placed in a hole, covered with earth, compacted and watered abundantly.

The third method of planting anemones is by dividing the plant. This procedure is performed in the spring when the root system of the growing flower is transplanted elsewhere. It is necessary to very carefully excavate the anemone bush and carefully divide its roots into two or three parts (depending on the root system of the plant).

Further planting of the plant coincides with the planting of tubers. A shoot is planted in the prepared holes, covered with earth and watered.

Anemones care rules

As for planting and caring for anemones, this procedure is not very difficult. With the right choice of a place for planting, flowers are unpretentious.

It is worth remembering that plants are not very fond of extreme heat and drought, so the main rule of caring for them is regular and abundant watering in the summer.

Another systematic rule for caring for an anemone is to regularly feed the roots of the plant. Mineral or organic fertilizers are well suited for this.

The feeding procedure should be done once a month or a month and a half. At the same time, it is recommended to use special fertilizers for flowering plants during flowering.

You need to use fertilizers wisely. When planting anemones and feeding in the summer, organic fertilizers are well suited, which will contribute to the flowering of the plant. To restore strength and protection in winter, mineral fertilizers are used, which will enrich the root system with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

In winter, anemones do not require additional care. But you should first take care of the safety of the plant during this period.This issue is especially relevant in regions with a harsh climate and cold winters. Cover the flowers with sawdust, straw and dry foliage to protect the root system from frost.

When planting these flowers, remember that anemones do not grow in acidic soil. Such soil characteristics will lead to the death of the plant.

Excess moisture is another important factor. The soil should be moist, but in moderation, because otherwise the roots of the plant will simply rot.

Anemone flowers are resistant to the development of various diseases. The most common disease will be the hookworm. Although its occurrence is rare enough, it is necessary to fight it. If your anemone leaves are covered with rust spots, they should be removed immediately. It is important to remove or replace the diseased soil under the flower.

Of the pests, it is worth highlighting slugs and snails, which are able to cause significant harm to the plant.

To remove these unwanted guests and prevent their appearance, it is recommended to treat the stems and foliage of the anemones with a solution of metaldehyde. Processing should be carried out systematically.

If you follow these simple rules and recommendations, beautiful and bright anemone flowers will delight the eye in your garden.
