Anemones planting and care outdoors in siberia

Delicate anemones with intricately dissected leaves and quivering corollas are equally good in the forest and among the most luxurious garden plants. Anemones, planting and caring for which in the open field are not as difficult as it might seem at first glance, take root well in summer cottages.

The main thing is to carefully approach the choice of a suitable plant and take into account its features. In the plant kingdom, there are more than 170 species of anemones, differing in:

• natural habitat;
• size, color and shape of flowers;
• structure;
• requirements for temperature, soil and other growing conditions.

More than two dozen varieties are grown as garden plants, including the most bizarre forms and varieties of hybrid anemones. All of them are perennials with varying degrees of frost resistance.

In cold weather, plant life glimmers in tubers and thick rhizomes. They are used for planting anemones in open ground in spring or autumn.

Conditions for planting anemones in the open field

According to the observations of experienced gardeners, rhizome anemones are less demanding and more winter-hardy than their large-flowered tuberous congeners. But whatever species the flower you like belongs to, the best place for it will be a transparent penumbra, protecting delicate petals from the scorching sun, but not blocking full access to heat and light. Once in an open area, the plants bloom well, but their petals quickly discolor and fall off. In the shade, the corollas open less often and later.

All anemones thrive in moderately moist, loose soil, but they tolerate stagnant water very painfully. Planting in a neutral or slightly acidic substrate that allows air and moisture to pass through will simplify the care of anemones in the open field.

If the soil is dense, prone to caking, it is worth adding sand to it. The choice of an elevated site for planting will help reduce the risk of decay in the autumn-spring period.

When to plant anemones in the ground

Rhizome anemones, many species of which are found in the middle lane, easily take root in the garden if they are carefully dug up and removed from the forest. Tuberous varieties tolerate winters worse, and some of them do not withstand severe subzero temperatures. Such plants are removed from the soil in the fall, and the tubers are kept cool until the heat returns.

Planting anemones in open ground in the fall is possible only for hardy plants and in regions where flowers are guaranteed to take root and overwinter.

In the spring, when the natural growing cycle begins and there is a warm period ahead, the plants acclimatize better and faster. Rhizome anemones reproduce by root segments with multiple growth points.If there are adult plants on the site, it is more convenient to plant them before flowering, until the aerial part has withered and the anemones are not lost among other vegetation.

When are anemones planted in the ground? The specific dates depend on the habits of the plant itself, and on the climate of the region. In the southern regions, anemones are planted in open ground from April to September. The farther north, the greater the risk of spring or autumn freezing of greenery and the underground part.

When are the dates for planting anemones:

• the site for them is carefully dug up in advance;
• all weeds are removed from the soil, especially those that propagate by roots;
• the soil is mixed with selected humus, and spruce is necessary, then dolomite flour, which oxidizes the soil.

Wells for plants are made at intervals of 15–20 cm. To provide flowers with good conditions for development and to simplify care in the open field, planting anemones is carried out so that the growth buds are at a depth of no more than 3–5 cm from the soil surface.

Tuberous anemones are planted on a sand pillow, which helps wick away excess moisture and even in a rainy year counteracts rotting of roots and tubers.

Fungal and bacterial rot are the main enemies of such plants, therefore, before planting, the tubers are treated with a fungicide and a root formation stimulator. In addition, if there is a spring planting, dried tubers are soaked for 2 hours in water at room temperature, helping perennials to wake up faster. In the fall, dry planting material is planted in the ground. The soil above the plantings is compacted and watered.

Until the plants hatch and grow stronger, they need protection. It can be peat mulch, which protects the land from drying out throughout the season and suppresses the growth of weeds.

Outdoor care for anemones after planting

From the moment of planting, whenever it passes, anemones in the open field, as in the photo, are provided with regular care, including:

• manual, very careful weeding of the site;
• loosening the surface layer of the soil;
• protection of plants from cold winds and low temperatures.

Plants planted in spring are immediately watered in moderation. And with the growth of greenery, the anemones are fed. For rhizome plants, mulching with a mixture of peat and humus is enough, and tuberous and large-flowered hybrid varieties should receive a more complete set, including minerals and trace elements.

To prolong flowering helps to remove faded corollas. In this case, nutrients are spent on the formation and growth of new buds.

Properly cared for rhizomatous plants thrive and even sow on their own, so they need to be thinned out and limited space available for life. They are fully suitable for planting anemones in the ground in Siberia, the Urals, in the Non-Black Earth Region, that is, where the most luxurious flowers can only be grown in a container culture.

Tuberous anemones are not so aggressive, some of them do not hibernate at all in the ground, and more frost-resistant species need careful cover with foliage, spruce branches, and non-woven material. The most delicate tubers are dried at room temperature after digging and then stored in a ventilated dry room, for example, in a basement, at a temperature of 3-5 ° C above zero. If the winters allow the tubers to be kept in the soil, every 3-5 years the planting is rejuvenated.

How to choose anemones for your garden - video

Anemone is a plant found in both hemispheres of our planet. It grows mainly on flat areas in regions with a temperate climate. The anemone is represented by a fairly large species diversity, and many varieties grow so differently that sometimes growers are simply lost. Further, about the intricacies of planting a plant in open ground, caring for it, diseases, as well as when it is necessary to plant an anemone (photos and instructions are attached).

Anemone: features, types of plants

Anemone is a plant of the buttercup family, which is actively cultivated by domestic gardeners and is known to most by the beautiful name "daughter of the winds". In appearance, the anemone is very similar to ordinary poppy.

The plant is represented by a large species diversity, among which there are both undersized and tall varieties. The latter, unfortunately, do not take root very well in our climate, therefore, domestic gardeners grow mainly undersized species.

Interestingly, among the anemones, you can find those species that require extremely difficult and troublesome care for an amateur grower (this is often due to the peculiarities of the root system of the plant), so we will consider only those species that are unpretentious in care and growing conditions.

Among these, the following varieties can be noted:

• Anemone is tender. A tiny plant only 5-10 cm tall.

Anemone tender

• Anemone is oak. Not very common in our latitudes. The plant is medium in size - it will grow up to 0.3 m in height. The flowers grow medium in diameter (about 3-4 cm) and are pale white in color. True, sometimes there are varieties with pale blue or lilac flowering. The varieties related to this variety are very unpretentious.

Dubravnaya anemone

• Buttercup anemone. An unpretentious plant, characterized by an average height - it reaches a height of only 25 cm, blooms very luxuriantly with beautiful small pale yellow flowers. At the same time, the plant is very unpretentious to care and is able to survive in almost any soil.

Buttercup anemone

• Japanese anemone. Unlike previous varieties, the Japanese anemone (like the variety presented below) is large perennials with a well-developed root system. The plant is distinguished by large and even peduncles, reaching a length of about 0.8 m.

Japanese anemone

• Anemone hybrid. The variety is represented mainly by semi-double rather large varieties with lush bright flowering.

Planting anemones in open ground

Before planting a plant, as usual, a number of preparatory activities are carried out, including the selection and preparation of a site for planting the anemone, as well as the preparation of planting material.

The area for planting anemones must be shady, perfectly protected from the wind and at the same time very spacious.

Advice. When choosing a place for planting anemones, be sure to take into account the specifics of the growth of this plant: it needs a lot of free space, which is due to a powerful large root system.

The soil on which the anemone will grow must be light, loose, well-drained and nutritious. The ideal option for anemones is loose loam or deciduous soil with the presence of peat.

If the soil in your area is heavy and, in general, not particularly suitable for growing anemones, try to improve its structure by adding a little fine sand to the soil (this will make it lighter and looser) or dolomite flour (if the soil acidity is high).

An unpleasant feature of the anemones is the finickyness of its seed material: the seeds of anemones sprout very poorly and require careful preparation before planting. We are talking about all the well-known stratification. There are several ways to harden anemone seeds. The simplest of them is as follows: the seeds should be placed in boxes with a light soil mixture and immersed deeper into the soil on the site, not forgetting to cover them, for example, with spruce branches. During the winter period, the seeds will naturally freeze, and in the spring you can safely plant them on the site.

Seedlings of anemones

If you plan to grow an anemone by planting its tubers, they should also be prepared: soak them in warm water for several hours, then transplant them into containers with prepared substrate (peat and sand) to a depth of about 5 cm.

Seedlings are planted in a permanent place only by the second year of the plant's life, it is advisable to carry out this process in the spring (while each plant should have at least 2 leaves). Although it will be quite successful to grow anemones during autumn planting, only in this case the area with the planted plant should be carefully covered with branches or foliage.

Attention! If the plant is grown by seed, be prepared for the first bright flowers to appear on the plant no earlier than 3 years after planting.

The subtleties of plant care

Caring for the plant is not at all burdensome: it is enough just to constantly maintain the desired level of moisture in the soil and feed the plant only with the right feeding.

Throughout the growing season, the anemone should be watered generously and regularly. In a particularly hot summer period, watering should be very abundant. But you should be very careful, because excess moisture in the soil can lead to rotting of the root system. To avoid this problem, choose an area located on a hill for planting anemones.

In the spring or moderately warm summer, it is enough to water the growing anemone only once a week.

During the flowering period, it is advisable to feed the anemone with liquid organic matter (everything is suitable except for manure), in the fall - to provide the plant with nutritious mineral complexes. If nutrients were introduced into the soil before planting the anemones, the plant will not need additional fertilizing at all.

Anemone loves generous watering

With proper care, anemone is practically not susceptible to any disease. Sometimes, however, a site with an anemone can be visited by slugs or snails. It is enough just to collect them by hand and treat the plant with a solution of metaldehyde. Sometimes the anemone suffers from leaf nematodes. In this case, the only effective solution would be to remove the damaged plant from the site and destroy it.

If the cultivation of anemones takes place in a temperate climate, it is advisable to remove the tubers from the soil with the onset of cold autumn and prepare them for wintering: dry slightly, remove the ground part of the bushes, and store the tubers in a humid cool environment, placing them in peat / sand.

That's all the subtleties to remember when growing anemones in the garden. Good luck!

Growing anemones: video

Bright curtains (beds with monoculture - Ed.) Of tender anemone flowers, sometimes knocking out right from under the snow, attract the eyes in April.

And I want a similar bed to grow in your garden. How can this be done correctly? Details in the article: anemone - planting and care.

Types of anemone

In total, there are more than 150 species of anemones. Otherwise, it is called anemone. This is most likely due to the fact that the flower is very responsive to the wind. The modern name for anemones is precisely derived from the Greek Άνεμος (wind), which can be artistically translated as "daughter of the wind."

Anemones are very different in their biological characteristics. They are thermophilic and winter-hardy, they love to grow in the shade and in the sun and differ in both the shape of the leaves and the size of the flowers. On the territory of Russia, you can find about 50 species of this ornamental plant.

Here are just a few of them:

Anemone tender	one of the smallest garden species. Blooms in spring, loves partial shade
Anemone sparkling	natural hybrid, grows naturally in olive groves in France and Spain. Digging for the winter is recommended
Altai anemone	grows naturally in Siberia and Japan; early flowering, loves shade
Crown anemone	very thermophilic and the most capricious when grown. Its flowers resemble bright poppies
Anemone oakravnaya	the most common anemone in Europe
Buttercup anemone	grows in Europe, in the Caucasus; reproduces vegetatively and by seeds
Forest anemone (or white anemone)	has white flowers, regular or double; belongs to late flowering (June, early July)

Rock anemone and others.

All anemones can be divided into two groups according to the nature of the roots:

• Rhizome,
• Tuberous.

Depending on the flowering period, they can be divided into spring, summer and autumn flowering anemones.

Among all types of anemones, the group of ephemeroids should be distinguished, i.e. plants with a short growing season, blooming in spring and early summer. These include varieties of crown anemones and oak anemones.

With such a variety of species, differences in flowering times and a variety of colors and shades, you can select and group plants in such a way that they will delight you with their flowering for almost the entire warm period.

Landing dates

The planting time of different types of anemones directly depends on the type of their root system. So, it is preferable to plant rhizomes in the spring, tuberous - in the spring and autumn. If you grow anemones from seeds, then both can be sown both in spring and autumn.

And the crown anemone can still be "expelled" in winter. To get a flowering plant in December-January, it should be planted in September-October.

When answering the question of when to plant an anemone, it should be borne in mind that the specific planting dates depend on the climatic zone. If in the south the rhizome anemones planted in September take root well, then in the zone of central Russia such a planting can be disastrous.

Choosing a landing site

The correct planting site is one of the prerequisites for successful growth. Due to the wide variety of anemone species, there are differences in soil requirements. But there are also some general conditions. This is a well-drained, loose soil in which moisture does not stagnate.

Attention! “All types of anemone are united by their dislike of drafts! Even a weak breeze makes light petals of the flower fly around. And this must be taken into account when planting ”!

If we talk about the requirements for the illumination of specific types, then the general picture is as follows:

Shaded space is preferred by those species that originally grew in nature under the canopy of deciduous forests: oak, Amur, Altai, flexible, buttercup anemones. They will like a shady place on the site, and it is better if it is its north side.

On the eastern side, those species that naturally grow in forest glades will grow successfully. These include forest anemones, canadian, forked.

There are also drought-resistant anemone species. They will take root both in open space and on the south side of the site. This is the Apennine, tender and crown anemone.

Preparing for planting anemone

If it's time to plant the anemone and you have already decided on a place for planting, you should start preparing the soil.

The soil

Loose, well-drained deciduous-peat or loamy soil is suitable for almost any type of anemones. To ensure good moisture permeability and prevent stagnation of water, you need to add sand, expanded clay, small pebbles to the soil.

The alkaline composition of the soil is suitable for the Caucasian, Apennine, crown anemone. The rest of the species prefer a neutral and slightly acidic soil composition. To ensure this, wood ash should be added, both during planting and later, along with fertilizers.

Seeds

If it was decided to plant seeds, then it must be borne in mind that they have a low germination rate in the anemones. To increase it, stratification is required within two months.

Stratification of anemone seeds

1. A month and a half before planting, mix the seeds with sand in a 1: 3 ratio.
2. Moisten the mixture and maintain it in this state until the seeds swell.
3. After swelling, the seeds are mixed with a small amount of the substrate and moistened again.
4. The container with seeds is placed in a ventilated room with a temperature of + 5 ° C until sprouts appear.
5. Next, a container with hatched seeds is placed in the snow. For protection from low temperatures, they are covered with sawdust or spunbond.
6. In early spring, the sprouts are placed in seedling boxes.

Attention! “There is also an easier way to prepare seeds for sowing. They are placed in boxes with prepared soil, and then directly into the soil on the site.

Natural stratification will occur during the winter.In the spring, the boxes are removed from the ground in order to sow the hatched seeds for seedlings. "

Tubers

Tuberous anemone nodules should be cooked correctly before planting.

When it comes time to plant tubers, they usually look like crackers, so they need to be soaked in water first.

"The problem is that if the tubers are directly placed in the water, subsequent decay cannot be avoided."

Therefore, the tubers are not placed in water, but wrapped in damp gauze, which should first be soaked in water with a drop of epin, and then squeezed out.

Gauze with wrapped tubers is wrapped in polyethylene so that moisture does not evaporate, and left to soak for about 5 hours.

Put the wet tubers in a bowl with wet sand, without deepening, and, covered with glass, place in a cool place.

The sand needs to be moistened periodically.

After a week and a half, growth points will appear on the tubers. Then it will become clear which side they should be planted.

Planting depth - two tuber heights.

Planting anemones

Basic Rules

The basic rules for planting anemones include the following:

• Anemones have an extensive root system. The distance between the seedlings should be at least the size of the palm of your hand. plants grow rapidly and can subsequently interfere with each other.
• You should not particularly deepen the tubers when planting. 6-7 cm is enough.

Sowing seeds

For anemones seedlings grown from seeds, at the time of planting in the ground, two true leaves should be formed.

Planting tubers

The main task when planting anemone tubers is to correctly determine the growth point. As mentioned above, this can be done only after their swelling. They need to be planted with the sharp end down, and the top side should be flatter.

Care after landing

If you plant it correctly, and then properly care for the anemones seedlings, then after a while it forms a whole rug of bright buds and green stems.

Watering

Proper maintenance includes regular watering without moisture stagnation. To do this, you need to provide the plantings with good drainage.

Watering should be done no more than once a day.

Top dressing

Anemones do not tolerate fresh manure well. The rest of the options for feeding the plant are perceived favorably. They respond positively to ash and rotted compost. Complex mineral fertilizers are suitable during the main flowering period, they should be applied once every two weeks.

Breeding methods for anemone

Seed propagation for anemone is still difficult. They are difficult to germinate, often in the second year. Even when ideal conditions for germination are created, 2/3 of the plants die. Seeds collected during the flowering season are sown before winter or next spring, after stratification at home, as already described above. Such plants begin to bloom in the second year.

For some species of anemone, self-seeding is characteristic if they grow under suitable conditions. In central Russia, ephemeroid anemones can reproduce by self-seeding.

Species of anemone with a rhizomatous root type (buttercup, tender, oak), blooming in spring, easily propagate vegetatively, i.e. pieces of rhizome with adventitious buds. In this case, the older the plant, the more divisions you can get from it. They are planted in the soil to a depth of 4-7 cm. After planting, regular watering is required.

Important! "With such a planting, it is necessary that the root collar is not buried, but located at ground level."

In the summer, they are transplanted with pieces of rhizomes and anemone-ephemeroids. In late June and early July, these plants begin to die off. At this time, the bud of renewal of the next year has already been laid on the rhizome. When the leaves of the plant have not yet completely died out and it can be found, you need to dig out a piece of the rhizome and transplant it to the place that you have chosen. In the spring of next year, such plantings will already bloom.

Prevention of diseases in anemones

Anemone is susceptible to diseases such as powdery mildew, gray mold and black leg. All this is associated with waterlogging of the soil, therefore, the plantings should be provided with good ventilation and drainage.

Downy mildew	in the early stages, they are sprayed with preparations: copper oxychloride, "Previkur", "Baktofit"
Gray rot	from chemical preparations recommended fungicides "Euparen", "Fundazol", "Rovral"
Sclerotiniasis (white rot)	the affected plants are removed, the plantings are treated with the drug "Rovral"

Pest control methods

Aphids - with a small amount, you can try to wash off with water or remove along with the leaves; in case of a severe lesion, treatment with drugs is performed: Decis, Iskra, bison, Antitlin.

Leaf nematodes - affected plants need to be removed to reduce moisture.
Sometimes slugs and snails can harm anemones. To scare them away from plants, you can treat the plantings with a solution of metaldehyde, having previously manually collected the pests.

Thrips are small yellowish or brown insects on the back of the leaves. To combat them, sticky traps or insecticide treatments "Aktara", "Fufanon", "Tanrek" are used.

Preparing for winter

In areas with mild winters, the measures for preparing the planting of anemones are minimal: they must be mulched with a thin layer of leaves or peat.

In the middle lane, mulching should be thorough: a 10 cm layer of spruce branches, straw or other material. In the spring, the shelter should be removed in time so that it does not interfere with germination.

Conclusion

Anemones are so diverse and interesting in their characteristics that you should definitely try to settle them on your site and experiment with them. And then the “daughters of the wind” will respond to the attention and caring care with their quivering flowering.

Anemone is a frequent inhabitant of the plots of most of our flower growers. To many, this plant, representing the buttercup family, is known as the "daughter of the winds", which she received from the ancient Greeks. By its external features, this perennial plant is very similar to a poppy.

In our country, the most widespread are low-growing varieties, reaching a height of 30 cm. Although tall species are represented in the genus of anemones, the well-known one, they are very rare in our climate. The total number of anemone species numbers more than 150 varieties, which differ in terms of flowering... This feature allows you to create a beautiful flower bed on their basis, which can be admired during the entire summer season.

Due to the wide variety in the genus of anemones, there are individual species that do not create much trouble in care. Along with them, there are also such plants that are incredibly difficult to grow even with careful care. The main reason for these differences is associated with the structural features of the root system. Some varieties form tubers, while others form rhizomes. However, it is the latter that are most preferred due to their ease of care. Therefore, it is worth getting the first experience of growing anemone from these species. Varieties that form tubers during the growing season require special attention, otherwise you can not count on the flowering of the anemone.

Planting and care in the open field: photos, planting secrets

During preparation for growing anemone, the main thing that needs to be understood is that throughout the entire life cycle, the plant needs provide appropriate care, which provides for compliance with some rules:

1. For anemones, regular watering is mandatory, and in dry and hot weather, they should be very abundant.
2. During the entire time of development, the plants must be fed: in the fall, complex mineral fertilizers are applied to the soil, and in the flowering phase and immediately before planting - organic fertilizers.
3. Frost resistance is not included in the list of anemone's advantages, therefore, for successful wintering, it needs a shelter from dry foliage.
4. The most favorable moment for the breeding of anemones occurs in the spring. It can be bred in several ways: using root suckers or seedlings grown from seeds.

Due to the large species diversity, each cultivar of anemones uses its own cultivation technique. It is especially worth highlighting spring varieties that usually called ephemeroids... Their main feature is a short flowering cycle. They come out of dormancy in April, and at the beginning of May they open their first flowers. However, in July they fall asleep again. But if you create favorable conditions for the development of plants, then they will be able to preserve foliage until autumn. When the last flowers of spring anemones wither, you can transplant them, because after that they begin to grow strongly.

Transplanting anemone with rhizomes can be carried out in the spring, when the snow has completely melted, or in October. But first, the rhizomes must be kept in warm water for some time. During planting, they are buried 10 cm, no more.

Buttercup and oak anemone belong to the group of plants that thrive in shade conditions. Therefore, the most suitable for planting them would be a site under trees or near the walls of buildings that can provide protection from sun and wind.

Crowned and tender anemones thrive in lighted areas, but should be protected from direct sunlight. During the care of the crown anemone, it is necessary to ensure moderate watering, and it is imperative to focus on the condition of the soil, which must have time to dry out. If the water starts to stagnate, then soon the roots of the crown anemone will rot. It is undesirable to plant an anemone next to bushes.

How to prepare the soil?

Even before planting an anemone, it is necessary decide on a suitable place and prepare the ground accordingly. It is recommended to choose a spacious area in the shade for this flower, where the plant will not be afraid of either wind or drafts, since these factors do not contribute to the normal development of the anemone. Considering that the anemone demonstrates rapid growth during the season and gains green mass in a short time, but at the same time has a rather fragile root system, a place should be chosen for it where it will not come into contact with anything.

This should also be guided by when choosing a site where loose and well-drained soil should be present. The most suitable for growing anemones is deciduous-peat or loamy soil. However, it is also possible to artificially improve the composition of the soil by adding sand to it. The problem of increased acidity can be solved by adding wood ash or dolomite flour to the soil.

How do I prepare the seeds?

When the main activities for the preparation of the site are completed, they move on to the seeds. It should be mentioned right away that anemone seeds have low germination... Therefore, if you plan to sow seeds harvested last year, then a maximum of 25% of them will hatch. However, there are certain techniques with which you can increase germination. The desired result can be achieved by exposing the seeds to cold for one to two months. Experienced gardeners know this exercise as stratification.

• for this you need to add a small amount of sand or peat to the seeds of the anemone, observing the proportions of 1: 3;
• then the mixture must be sprayed with water and kept moist until the seeds swell;
• placing flower seeds in a suitable container, add a small amount of substrate there, then mix everything and moisten a little again;
• then the seeds are transferred to a ventilated room, where the temperature is maintained at no higher than 5 degrees Celsius. They must remain in it until the shoots appear;
• when the seeds hatch, the container is transferred to the street, where they are buried in snow or ground. To protect from the winter cold, the place in which the seeds were buried must be covered with sawdust or straw on top;
• in the first weeks of spring, the plants are transplanted into boxes.

However, it is possible to prepare the seeds of anemone flowers for sowing in an easier way: for this need boxes with earth, into which the seeds are sown, after which these containers are buried on the site. As a result, being outdoors during the winter, the effect of natural stratification will be provided. With the onset of spring, all that remains is to remove the box and transplant flowers.

How to prepare tubers?

Before planting flowers of an anemone with tubers, it is necessary to bring it out of dormancy. This will require a container into which warm water is poured, and then the tubers are placed there for a couple of hours. At the first signs of swelling, flowers are transplanted into pots pre-filled with a sand-peat mixture. It is necessary to deepen the tubers no more than 5 cm. When this operation is performed, it is necessary to ensure that the soil remains moist at all times.

You can also suggest another method of preparing anemone tubers for planting.

• you need to take a cloth, moisten it in Epin's solution, and then place the roots in it;
• then it is wrapped in a plastic bag and left for five to six hours;
• after the specified time, you can transplant into pots.

How to plant tubers?

When growing flowers of anemone with tubers, the main thing is to correctly determine the growth point. To do this, it is necessary to carefully examine the tuber - the upper part should have a flat surface, and the lower one should be pointed. If pre-sowing measures were carried out in relation to the tubers and they managed to swell, then they tubercles of the kidneys will be present... Sometimes it is difficult to determine the shape of the tuber, in which case they need to be placed sideways when planting.

Then a pit is prepared for sowing: its diameter should be 40 cm, and its depth should be about 15 cm. First, you need to pour two handfuls of a mixture of ash and humus on the bottom. After that, the tuber is laid there, and on top it is covered with earth and lightly tamped. Finally, you need to moisten the soil.

Disembarkation rules

It is possible to plant anemone seedlings in pots only at the onset of a favorable moment. It can be determined by the fact that the seedlings have formed two true leaves. Haste with a transplant will not benefit the anemone, since in the future you will have to pay more attention to it while leaving. During the planting of flowers in the fall, they need protection from the cold from fallen leaves or hay. When growing anemone flowers from seeds, you will have to stock up on a lot of patience, since the first flowers will appear only in 3-4 years.

If it is necessary to ensure the flowering of anemones throughout the season, then you should be very careful when choosing varieties. They should differ in flowering time, and they must be planted at the right time.

How to properly care for an anemone?

After the planting of the anemone flowers is completed, they begin to care for it. Particular attention must be paid to soil moisture. Watering should be moderate, because when water stagnates roots start to rot... The plant will not feel well if it does not receive enough moisture, since it will not have the strength for normal growth. In some cases, plants will not be able to set buds at all. You can ensure the optimal level of soil moisture if you plant flowers on a hill and provide for high-quality drainage. Mulching the soil has a positive effect. Peat or leaves of fruit trees can be used as material.The mulch itself is laid on the soil in the root zone with a layer of 5 cm.

In spring, the need for moisture in flowers is low, so you can limit yourself to watering once a week. A similar irrigation regime is provided in summer, provided that the weather is cool. In hot weather, anemone should be watered every day before sunrise or after sunset.

At the beginning of mass flowering, the anemone will consume a lot of energy, so it will have to be provided with additional fertilizing. However, it is undesirable to use fresh manure for these purposes. In the fall, feeding is carried out with complex mineral fertilizers. In those cases, if fertilizers were applied to the soil before planting the seeds, fertilizing is not required.

Conclusion

Anemone is widespread in our country, so many of our gardeners are well acquainted with its decorative properties, as well as the peculiarities of cultivation and care. However, a beautiful photo of anemone flowers does not mean that it will be easy to grow it. Here there are certain nuances, on which the success of this event largely depends. When growing anemones outdoors, it is important not only to find a suitable area that should correspond to the variety of anemones, but also to provide appropriate care.

First of all, this concerns watering, which must be regular. If the flowers are watered with long pauses, subsequently compensating for them with an increased consumption of moisture, then this will not benefit the anemone, since excess water will cause root rot. Because of this, it can not only stop blooming, but also die.
