Anemones De Caen Mixed Windflower - Summer Flowering

Ideal for GARDEN and CONTAINER PLANTING

Anemones are extremely popular due to their early, massive flowering and their wide availability. Another big advantage is that the little rhizomes naturalize easily in climatic zones 6-9. They form a lovely, colorful carpet, especially under woody trees and shrubs which are still bare during the time of the anemones’ flowering period. Anemones are actually a must for spots among perennials.

Anemone coronaria De Caen came to the Netherlands from France around 1870. Anemones were initially limited to single-flowering types with bright colors and sturdy stems. Ongoing selection has produced cultivars that can be propagated according to color but are also sold as mixed colors.
