Anemone Bicolor

Unleash Artistic Beauty with Anemone Bicolor Corms

Prepare to be captivated by the sheer beauty of Anemone Bicolor. As pretty as a picture, it’s no surprise this variety has inspired artists. Its large, pristine white blooms are strikingly adorned with deep raspberry red, ring-shaped markings, creating a truly unique and mesmerizing display that is, quite simply, too pretty for words.

With proper care, you’ll enjoy much more than just one year of these showy blooms, as Anemone Bicolor is a fully hardy perennial, promising a delightful return season after season. Reaching an established height of 20-30cm and an upright habit, it’s a versatile choice for beds and borders, bringing vibrant contrast and elegance. For those with rockeries, these anemones will look stunning, thriving in the well-drained conditions that are perfect for them.

Anemone Bicolor is easy to grow, establishing quickly in its first year. It flourishes in full sun to partial shade and prefers a sheltered position with free-draining soil of any acidity, including loam, sandy soil, or multi-purpose compost.

To grow Anemone from corms, start by soaking the corms in water for 6-12 hours to rehydrate them, then plant them pointy-side down in well-draining soil, 2-3 inches deep and 6-9 inches apart. Pre-sprouting the corms can help them bloom a few weeks earlier
