Growing Non-GMO Galilee Pastel Anemone Flower Bulbs

Unpack the bulbs (also known as corms) and either plant them this fall or store them until spring in a well-ventilated area (between 50 and 55 degrees Fahrenheit). Before planting, soak the bulbs in tepid water for about 4 hours.

For zones 8 and warmer, plant in the fall. For zones 7 and cooler, plant in the early spring once the soil can be worked. Select a garden spot with high-quality, well-draining soil. Anemones thrive in full sun but benefit from partial shade in warmer climates. They prefer soil temperatures between 45-65 F. Enhance soil drainage and nutrient content by working organic matter into the top two inches. In cool climates (zones 3-7), anemones typically do not rebloom and should be dug up (lifted) and replanted yearly. Cover plants with frost cloth if temperatures drop below freezing.

Plant bulbs 3-4 inches apart and 2 inches deep. If using containers, ensure there is ample room for growth. Water them initially to eliminate air pockets. Additional watering is unnecessary until plants start to grow. Once growth appears, water regularly, but avoid waterlogging. Applying mulch at the base helps maintain moderate soil temperatures and retain moisture. Avoid fertilizing during the first month of growth. After the first month, fertilize once or twice during the growing season. Each spring, topdress with well-rotted compost.

Growing an assortment of different plants near Anemones can help promote healthier soil and prevent disease. Wait until the foliage dies back in warmer climates before cutting back the foliage or removing the corms to promote regrowth next year. In cold climates, anemones are treated as annuals, lifted, or replaced yearly.
