Know before you buy
Yes, the Levante Mix is well-suited for containers. Ensure your pot has good drainage and place it in a spot that receives full to partial sun.
These bulbs are specifically rated for USDA zones 8-10. If you live in a colder climate, you can treat them as annuals or plant them in containers that can be moved indoors during freezing temperatures.
When harvested correctly, these anemones can last up to two weeks in a vase. For the best longevity, cut the stems when the flowers are just beginning to open.
Yes, snipping the first flowers for arrangements actually encourages the plant to produce more blossoms throughout the season. Regular harvesting helps the plant focus its energy on creating new buds.
Plant your bulbs approximately 3 inches deep. Space them 5 to 6 inches apart to ensure they have enough room to develop their foliage and strong stems.
These anemones thrive in full sun to partial sun. While they are adaptable, providing them with at least six hours of sunlight will help ensure the most vibrant color and strongest stem growth.
