Description

Full of life, cheerful and welcoming, Anemone coronaria St Brigid Mix are a delight to emerge from winter. Their vibrant and varied colours: white, pink, blue, red, lilac are a remedy against gloominess. Their multifaceted flowers bring life to flower beds, borders and rockeries, and brighten up slightly shaded areas. In small bouquets, they also have a great effect indoors.

 

TAnemone coronaria St Brigid Mix is a hardy bulbous perennial: it can withstand temperatures dropping below -10°C (14°F). However, mulching will help protect it. Native to the Mediterranean basin, it can still be found there in its natural state and therefore prefers light, well-drained soils rich in humus and sunny exposures. It can also tolerate partial shade.

Several stems emerge from its tuberous stump, reaching a height of up to 40-50 cm (16-20in) and bearing beautiful semi-double and double flowers at their top. They have a black centre for the coloured ones (green for the white flowers), surrounded by numerous stamens. The whole flower is highlighted by several rows of rather thin and oblong petals, giving it a half-pompom appearance, more or less flattened and tousled, with a diameter of about 5 cm (2in). The foliage is deciduous and dark green. Arranged in a rosette at the base, deeply cut and sessile on the stems, it forms a beautiful setting for the flowers in bouquets.

 

Perfect for miniature gardens, Anemone coronaria St Brigid Mix brings life to every corner with bold shades. They extend the flowering season after the Paperwhite Narcissus and the White Star uniflorum Iphéon from April, in the mildest climates. In larger spaces, they take shelter under the graceful grey spirea or the white Korean forsythia and weave their way among the Snake's Head Fritillaries. To enjoy their brilliance, you can also keep them nearby in pots on the patio or near entrances.

Planting and care

With a level of cultivation accessible to all, Anemone coronaria St Brigid Mix appreciates all types of soils if they are well drained, with a preference for fertile, sandy and light soils.

The planting of tubers is preferably done in autumn, from mid-September to mid-November, for flowering from April onwards. It is recommended to soak the corms for a few hours just before planting in warm water, in order to rehydrate them. The swellings appearing on the corm after rehydration are the locations of the future flowers. Plant the tubers at a depth of 3 to 5 cm (1 to 2in).  Water regularly during the first season, but without excess, to promote good deep rooting.

Very easy to maintain, the Anemone de Caen requires watering in case of drought and a mulch of dead leaves to help it survive the winter (especially if planted in autumn).

At the end of the flowering of Anemone coronaria, cut the withered stems, but leave the leaves that will nourish the tuber for the next year's flowering. They turn yellow and die towards the end of summer, when the plant enters dormancy, only to reappear and bloom the following spring.
