I want to grow anemones - Am I too late (now mid-March) to plant Anemone de Caen and Windflower bulbs? If so, is it too late for seeds?




Answers

 

No - Anemone de Caen can be planted as corms now, and should flower in late summer.

I think you mean A. nemorosa by 'Windflower', and that needs to be planted in September.

I'm afraid I've never tried them from seeds, so I can't answer that.

I planted three anemone nemerosa earlier today!

Well, there you go - maybe the corms can't read, Andrew!

Or perhaps I can't!!

Spritz, on the A de Caen i bought last week the label did call 'them' Windflowers !
Like you i only referred to them as the autumn flowering ones.

Yes Louise, I bought anemone blanda plant couple of weeks ago and that's also called windflower on the label?, so if thats the variety you mean Patrick you can buy plants in flower at garden centres now.

Doesn't this just show why the latin name of a plant is vital? Then we all know which plants we're talking about!

I agree, a clear cut example !
