What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the 'Italian Anemone - Mistral Plus Blu' for its premium performance and stunning color. Reviewers consistently highlight the deep, true blue hue, noting its superior saturation compared to standard varieties. The blooms are frequently described as robust, large, and excellent for cutting due to impressive stem length and vase life.

Overall, this anemone is highly recommended for those seeking a dramatic, intensely colored blue spring flower backed by careful packaging and good guidance.
Know before you buy
Yes, Mistral Plus Blu anemones are excellent for containers. Ensure your pot has good drainage and is placed in a spot that receives full to partial sun.
The best way to promote continuous blooming is to regularly snip the flowers for bouquets. Removing the spent stems signals the plant to redirect its energy into producing new buds.
These bulbs are specifically rated for hardiness zones 8-10. If you live in a colder climate, you can treat them as annuals or grow them in containers that can be moved indoors during freezing temperatures.
When properly cared for in a vase, these flowers can last up to two weeks. To maximize their lifespan, trim the stems at an angle and change the water every few days.
Plant each bulb 3 inches deep. For the best visual impact and healthy growth, space them 3 to 4 inches apart.
