Lilies will bring beauty, color and fragrance to your garden for many years; they only require you to plant them in the right place and provide for their simple needs. Choose a well-drained location with at least half a day of sunshine. If it’s too shady, the stems will stretch and lean towards the sun. Lilies love full sun! For best effect, plant lilies in groups of three or five identical bulbs.
1. Select an area with full sun
2. Dig a hole 5 inches (12,5 cm) deep
3. Place the bulb in the hole, with pointed side up
4. Space bulbs 8 inches (20 cm) apart
5. Cover with soil and water thoroughly
Plant in groups of 5 or more, in well-drained soil. Bulbs will benefit from a handful of compost added to the planting holes.

3. Place the bulb in the hole, with pointed side up
4. Space bulbs 3 inches (7.5 cm) apart
5. Cover with soil and water thoroughly
Plant in groups of 15 or more, in well-drained soil. Bulbs will benefit from a handful of compost added to the planting holes.

The large, daisy-like flowers of the modern varieties of Anemone blanda (‘blanda’ meaning ‘beautiful’) have a diameter of 1 – 2 inches (4-5 cm.). They have yellow flower centers and numerous stamens. 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 zone 4-9. 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.
This small plant comes from the mountains of Greece and Asia Minor. Its original color is blue, it is propagated from seed, and its tuber size starts at 5 cm. Selections have produced cultivars in other colors as well, but these have to be propagated vegetatively by cutting or breaking the tubers.
