Anemone multiple
It has numerous bright green cirrus leaves. Anemone multifilament retains its decorativeness from spring to late autumn. The height of the plant is 15-50 cm. White, pink, yellow flowers with a diameter of 4 cm bloom throughout the summer. Anemone from seeds is sown for winter or spring. Crops are slightly sprinkled with soil. Seedlings should appear in a couple of weeks. Planting of anemone multisound (seedlings) begins in May-early June, after the spring frosts end. The plant is often used to decorate flowerbeds, mixborders. For a long and abundant flowering anemone, a multi-stranded one needs regular weeding, loosening, timely watering and fertilizing with mineral fertilizers.
When to plant anemones?
Spring tubers are planted in the penumbra or in the sun, however this place should be well protected from the wind. Soil is desirable to choose a fertile and well drained. Plant the tubers to a depth of 5 cm, at a distance of 10 cm from each other. Planting tubers in several stages will prolong the flowering of the plant from July to September.
In October, the anemones are excavated, the aerial part is cut off, spread on a newspaper and dried. Dry the pineal rhizomes in a cool place (10-15 degrees) for a month. In winter, tubers of anemones should be kept isolated from each other in boxes with moistened peat, sand, sawdust or moss, so that during storage they do not dry out. Boxes should be cleaned in a cool place.
In regions with a mild climate, tubers can be planted in winter and autumn (after covering them with frost), then the anemones will bloom already from the end of spring.
Anemone: cultivation
After the anemone is planted, fertilize the soil with humus from the leaves of trees or use a loose peat for consistency. For abundant and beautiful flowering, add complex fertilizers before buds are blown. After the anemones are well strengthened in the ground, watering should be reduced. Growing anemones do not need watering. Therefore it is convenient to grow it in the garden in hard-to-reach places for irrigation. Only the crown anemone during the flowering period needs wet soil. In the autumn, the seedlings must be insulated by covering them with humus for the winter. Now you know how to grow anemones - unpretentious plants, which are often planted in their plots gardeners.
