Plant anemones in autumn or spring, depending on when they are supplied. Plant them during the same season, as prolonged storage can reduce their vigour.

Also known as “Poppy Anemones”, Anenome 'Sylphide' offers you a cup of brightest deep pink petals highlighted by a whorl of bright purple stamen at the centre of each perfectly shaped bloom. It’s hard to believe that anything so delicate looking can be so tough, but Anenome 'Sylphide' doesn’t need pampering to settle down in your garden. What’s more, the cut blooms last well in the vase, so you’ll have a supply of cut flowers every year. Don’t worry about the odd shape of the bulbs, plant them on their sides if you aren’t sure which way up they should go. If you’d like to give them a head start, soak the bulbs in water overnight before planting.

Soak them in plain water for two to three hours before planting. This rehydrates them and helps to encourage strong, even growth.
Choose a sheltered position in sun or partial shade with rich, well-drained soil. For containers, use a good-quality peat-free multipurpose compost.
Plant 2–5cm deep and 5–10cm apart, placing them on their sides. Planting in informal groups creates the most natural-looking display.
Water after planting and keep the soil lightly moist, never soggy. In colder areas, protect autumn plantings from hard frost or start them in pots under cover.
