A big surprise this morning, a few fantastic purple booms from Anemones I stuck in a planter last year! Forgot they were in the planter. I do have Japanese Anemones, mine are now 4years old and grow up to 40 inches tall, all white, they bloom at the end of summer, foliage is coming up now, late February, stays green all summer, then the bloom stalks shoot up, amazing, Thanks to you and your video I will plant more, so beautiful.

So nice to see an anemone video! I have had them for many years but increased my amount this spring. They LOVE the cold. I plant in Oct/Nov in NC. This year I soaked a few hours then directly planted them(no pre-sprouting). They emerged in 2 weeks and grew very slowly until Feb. They made it through 23 degree nights about 6 times with no cover. The rabbits do like to eat the leaves though, so protect with netting if necessary. They started blooming in mid-March and are almost done here due to 80 degree days. Cut when they show color but haven’t opened yet and cut way down to the bottom of the stem. They last pretty long in a vase!

I am in zone 5a, southern Wisconsin. I did soak mine for 3 hours and put them in a tray in the dark and cool basement for 2 weeks this winter to presprout. Mine were planted outside on March 21. We had some really cold weather at times and I covered them as needed. Buds are now forming at ground level and the plants look strong. Looking forward to beautiful blooms. Thanks for another enjoyable video!

I’ll be trying anemones this coming year. Thank you for the inspiration and information.

Gorgeous!! Planted some last fall and am hoping for results this spring. Thank you.

Just what I needed to see. I have bought some for the first time. Thanks for making a thorough video.

I love them so much! I have a bunch of hot pink ones all over my garden, I also have a double white Japanese anemone, Blanca, a few native anemones that are deciduous and the clover looking anemones I would say Japanese anemones are the shade version of the poppy looking ones, super easy both of them!

I had one bloom in December. I was shocked and delighted

I have anemones growing in my hoop house. I'm excited to see them bloom!

It’s September in my zone 7 area and my neighbor just gave me 1 little Anemone plant that’s flowering (little white/pale pink flowers). She said to plant it in shade, which I did but not sure it will survive based on the fact we’re plant sharing in the middle of its bloom season. Based on YOUR video I think I’m going to try ordering the seed to plant next month (October) in a semi-shade area and see if I can manage to over winter them next to my Irises that get about 5-6 hours of afternoon sun. I need to move the irises anyhoo back to a sunnier spot, so if the Anemones take there, they can have the whole 12 foot boarder area. Thanks for the informative video. I appreciate the details and the excellent images!! Wish me luck!!

I just watched your video and learned that you put Anemone corn up side down, that is why, plant came up away from the corn. Normally, pointing side is down, to put in the ground. Interesting to see that it works both way. Thanks for the videos.

Just planted my sprouted anemones into my cold frame beds (Zone 3a). Looking forward to all the blooms!

I just got my first anemone - an Italian mistral white/black center. I am absolutely smitten. I think I got the corm at Home Depot and put it in the fall. I live in zone 8B. It just gave a big gorgeous bloom at the beginning of March and has many more coming. I can’t wait to grow more and I was surprised to find there’s not very many videos on KZread for them. Thank you for this video!

Amazing, you changed my mind about anemones!! I thought they looked like a weird alien flower, but these fall I'll be planting them at the beginnings of my flower farm, thank you!!!

Great video. Thank you. Could you please talk about what to do after they are done blooming .Thanks again .

I've never grown Anemones before. I always thought it was too warm here in Central Texas, zone 7b/8a for them. They sure are cute tho!! And I bet those bright colors are a sight for gardening eyes to see around February time! Very nice!! Of coarse, your photography always makes them look so good too!! Some Winters are so mild here, I'm not sure that even the night temps get low enough... Certainly those low night temps wouldn't last 2 weeks straight in those warmer Winters! But then, there are the other, colder Winters... Hey!! Looking on the bright side - Perhaps if Global Warming IS going to turn ALL our Winters colder (like this past one), then YES - I WILL be able to grow Anemones!!! WhooooHoooooooo!!! Wow... 🙄 Wait a minute... That's really stretching for the bright side isn't it!! I can just hear me saying something dumb like, "Yes, I'm really enjoying the new effects of Global Warming... It means I have a better bulb turnout in the Spring! By the way, I'm sorry to hear your pipes burst last weekend... But hey - did you plant any Anemones last Fall?!! Bcuz that kinda makes it all worth it, don'tcha think?!" Geeeeez!!! How ridiculous does THAT sound!! Hahahahaha!!!! Oh my gosh, I'm laughing at myself right now! I must be delirious or something!!! And so talkative too! Sheesh!!

They are lovely🥰

It will prob take between now until fall for me to even secure these... I’ll be watching your older videos on growing these bc I would need to bottle sow or maybe sow in small trays inside clear plastic tubs. My zippered greenhouse got ripped to shreds & kept getting blown around so I don’t think I’ll mess with it this year.

How and when do you harvest the corms for the next season? Or can you keep it the ground?

Good to know about the cold, here on Maryland's eastern shore it rarely gets below 20, I could probably plant these in Dec., I"ll have to give them a try. Nice too I see the channel has a lot of new subscribers, should keep growing with all the beauty summer will bring.

This was perfect timing for me. They never come on the market until around March here, which is way too late. I planted anyway, in potting soil, and the potting soil nowadays just holds water way too long. It's been at least 3 to 4 weeks and nothing has come up. So I'm going to dig them up and see if they rotted and I'll bet they did. I soaked mine for like 3 hours and oxygenated them did everything they said to do and nothing. I did plant the ranunculus and five of them are up. But this is my first and it's warm, very warm. I am in North Central Florida zone 9A. All bulbs and tubers etc don't come on the market here until the first part of March which is insane. Here they should be in the fall. Yours are beautiful and now I know what's going on. Thanks so much for the video, it was very timely. Always enjoy your videos. ❤️❤️❤️

Actually, your Florida location brings up a question I have that would probably pertain to both of us. Maybe some seasoned Anemone growers will help us with the answer... ? I live in zone 7b/8a, and we sometimes have mild Winters. I'm assuming that being in Florida is the same way. Now - if I buy some Anemones, and then give them their needed cold hours in my fridge BEFORE I plant them, this means that they will be all set for the following Spring Show. Ok. Got it. So here's the real question: What about the NEXT YEAR? If I leave them in the ground, bcuz realistically, that IS what I would do! And let's say the next Winter is a very mild Winter. It's sooo mild that the chill requirements for the Anemones (who are still underground) do not get met. They aren't going to bloom, are they? No. But what would they ACTUALLY DO? Would they just pop up and check the temperatures, grow some leaves for stored energy, then go back to bed? Hey - that's a lot like a Midnight Snack isn't it?!!! Or Maybe they won't even pop up & leaf out? Bcuz - Maybe they'll just stay in bed, & just decide to sleep in for that whole year? Is that what would happen? And then, provided they don't rot in the ground all those sleepy months, when we finally DO get a cold Winter, and their chill requirements DO get met, then will that be when they decide to pop up and give us a show? Will they still have the energy? Or Will they absolutely need to be dug up every year, stored, chilled, and then planted again in order for us to have a show? Just like a Tulip? (Which I never have Tulips either bcuz really, I'm not going to dig any bulbs back up. And then having to find a place to store them, that's a whole other can of worms! I mean, I'm just being honest...) Does anyone know the answer to The Life & Mind of an Anemone? Ha! That sounds like a documentary title doesn't it!!

Ideally, the plants should be allowed to die back naturally. They can then be lifted or left in place to perennialize in appropriate growing zones. I transplanted mine simply because I need the garden space for other plants. I found most of my corms locally and ordered a few from floret. Thanks for watching! 🌱🌱🌱

Loved your video! You have a lovely , cheerful voice. I just ordered some corms, for white anemones. I am getting married on October 15th and the goal is to time this correctly to harvest them for use as boutonnieres and decor. Do you have a general timeline for planting-bloom?

thanks for your informative videos, I followed your instructions and planted anemones, about 80% sprouted successfully. However, they are about 10" tall now, but most cannot standing straight, the stems are skinny, is there any reason or will they get harder once they are older./ taller? Thanks

Thanks for your video. I live in Chile, and I bought three Caen anemones this year (in pots). When I bought them, they had very large flowers, and little buds just coming up. When flowers deteriorate, I plucked them with the whole stem. The second flowers (from each plant) grew up and open, but they were smaller. They are producing little buds that bloom after. My question is: How can I get larger flowers? I would like to have flowers like the first one the plant had, but they are smaller and smaller. Should I remove the little buds to have larger flowers? Should I select larger flowers instead of more flowers? I will acknowledge your help.

Hi , I just bought few bags of seed today , can I plant them directly to the soil or not . This will be my first time growing them , and I’m definitely be subscribing after I finish watching this video

I'm further north, so I definitely think anemones can be successful from a fall planting. However, I don't know how they would do without protection from a frost blanket or row cover. It takes a little bit of trial and error, but I think the results are worth it. Thanks so much for watching! :)

May I ask, how many flowers roughly does a single corm produce? First time planting these and am unsure if I have to plant the corms together (I have a pack of 15), or do I spread them out/plant in a few pots.. ? Thanks!

Hi! I live in south Florida zone 10a, I know I’m being quite valiant/ignorant (or both) attempting to grow these but try I will! I will be starting them inside, once they sprout are the cold temperatures still necessary? Thank you!

I started anemones and ranunculus in a small greenhouse in October. They still got hit hard by the cold Temps, maybe not the best greenhouse. Now they are barely putting anything out in mid-March

what zone are you in?

I’m curious about this flower. I will look into them further. Raccoons dug up my front lawn so I am wondering if I could plant these mixed with low growing white clover and have a ground cover instead of grass?
