Description
Let attention-grabbing Anemone 'Lord Lieutenant' bring a cool wash of blue into your planting scheme next season. This fanciful flower looks incredibly formal with its double layer of neat royal-blue petals and smart button centre. It’s dependable, engaging and worthy of being stationed in all the best parts of the garden. Not only that, but their long-flowering time and generous stem length also makes them a good sport for cut flower use too.
Anemone coronaria 'Lord Lieutenant' are quite resilient, and when planted into a sheltered spot you can rely on them to put every effort into making an impressive display. If you’re thinking about attracting pollinators, you’ll find that bees love anemones, and this colour is particularly alluring to them! If you’re planting your Anemone 'Lord Lieutenant' bulbs in autumn, they’ll flower during spring. Planting in spring means they’ll flower in summer, but always plant the bulbs in the season they’re supplied to you, while they’re fresh, don’t stash them away!
The lovely Anemone 'Lord Lieutenant' is sure to draw attention with its beautiful cover of purple-blue petals, each with a dark center. During spring, this bloom will last up to a month, swaying delicately atop sturdy stems above the finely divided foliage. The joy of this flower, beyond its looks, is that it will bring in butterflies and make a wonderful addition to a bouquet. Anemone coronaria 'Lord Lieutenant' is easy to keep too, needing only a sunny place for it to bring its bright and captivating presence.
