Growing Non-GMO Galilee Pink 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 corms for up to 4 hours to hydrate. Galilee Pink Anemones are typically grown outdoors. Depending on your hardiness zone, they are best planted in the fall or spring. They are grown as perennials in zones 8-10 and should be planted in the fall when temperatures consistently drop below 70 F. In zones 3-7, they are treated as annuals or lifted each fall and replanted in the spring once the soil can be worked. Plant the corms 2-3 inches deep, ensuring good soil contact for optimal growth.

These beautiful anemones typically bloom from late winter to early spring when planted in the fall. They will bloom in the spring. Deadheading spent flowers helps maintain a tidy appearance and extend the blooming period. To improve perennial blooming ability in zones 7-10, ensure your anemones receive consistent care by mulching in the fall to protect the corms from extreme cold and maintain proper irrigation practices throughout the year.

During the first month after planting, don’t fertilize the corms. For the best health and blooming results, fertilize your anemones once or twice during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Start watering your anemones regularly once growth begins, but avoid soggy soil conditions. Well-drained soil and proper watering help prevent root rot and other moisture-related issues. Applying a layer of mulch around the plants helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.

To ensure your Galilee Pink Anemones succeed each year, grow an assortment of different plants nearby to 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. Regularly topdress with well-rotted compost each spring to improve soil nutrients and texture.
