Growing Tips for Baxter County
Soak corms in tepid water for 2–4 hours before planting to rehydrate them. Plant 2–3 inches deep with the flat or rough side down (corms are irregular). Space 4–6 inches apart. Anemones are cool-season plants — they need cool temperatures to set buds; summer heat causes dormancy. In zones 7+, fall planting allows corms to root through winter and bloom in March–April. In zones 5–6, start corms indoors 4 weeks before last frost, then transplant after danger of hard freeze passes. In zones 9–10b, plant from October through January for a succession of blooms. After bloom, allow foliage to die back; corms can be lifted, dried, and stored in a cool, dry place through summer.
