Know before you buy
Yes, you can still enjoy these bulbs as annuals in cooler climates by planting them in the spring after the danger of frost has passed. In zones 8-10, they are typically planted in the fall to bloom in early spring.
Plant each bulb approximately 3 inches deep. Ensure the soil is well-draining to prevent the bulbs from rotting, especially in areas with heavy rainfall.
When cut at the right stage, these anemones are excellent for arrangements and can last up to two weeks in a vase. For the longest vase life, harvest them when the buds are just beginning to show color but have not fully opened.
They thrive in full sun to partial shade. While they appreciate plenty of light to produce their vibrant red blooms, they will also perform well in areas that receive filtered afternoon shade.
Since each plant has a spread of 3 to 4 inches, you should space the bulbs about 4 inches apart. This allows enough room for the handsome foliage to develop without overcrowding.
