Anemone levante Blue

Unveiling Electrifying Hues: Anemone levante Blue Bulbs

Prepare to be mesmerized by Anemone levante Blue, producing the most intense purple-blue of any garden plant. Whether you describe its flowers as indigo blue, violet-purple, or somewhere in between, you cannot deny their electrifying impact. Each bloom is large, fully double, and features a striking, darker central boss of stamens, adding to its allure.

These stunning flowers will brilliantly brighten patio pots or the fronts of beds and borders in spring. While flowering time depends on planting, you could see blooms as early as fall if planted upon receipt. We suggest that you plant the little tubers (which look rather like dried-up pieces of bark) as soon as you receive them. You can also plant these Anemones as late as autumn, for flowering next year.

The 20-30cm high flower stems are strong, making them ideal as cutting material for bouquets and indoor vase arrangements. They are particularly prized for possessing a very long vase life, typically 10 days or more, allowing you to enjoy their intense color indoors for an extended period. This easy-to-grow variety establishes quickly in its first year and is pollinator-friendly, attracting beneficial insects to your garden.

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
