Growing Instructions for Zone 3b

Anemone corms benefit from a spring planting in colder climates and will provide beautiful early-season blooms.

Planting Time
Plant corms in spring after the danger of severe frost has passed and the soil can be worked.

Preparing the Corms
Before planting, soak the corms in room-temperature water for 3–4 hours to help encourage faster sprouting.

Location
Choose a location with full sun to partial sun and well-drained soil. Anemones perform best in loose, fertile soil enriched with organic matter.

Planting Depth

• Plant corms about 2 inches deep.
• Place the corm in the soil and cover gently (orientation is not critical).
• Water thoroughly after planting.

Spacing
Space corms about 3–4 inches apart to allow plants to form a full, colorful display.

Watering
Keep soil lightly moist during the growing season but avoid overly wet soil.

Fertilizing
Apply a balanced fertilizer once shoots appear to encourage healthy growth and blooming.

Seasonal Care in Zone 3b

• After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally.
• In colder climates, corms can be lifted after foliage fades and stored in a cool, dry location for winter.
• Alternatively, heavy mulching may allow some corms to overwinter depending on local conditions.

Carmel Pastel Mix Anemones create a soft, elegant display of pastel blooms that brighten spring gardens and provide beautiful flowers for fresh arrangements.
