How to make these beauties grow
...
Sow: January - April
How: Surface sow and cover lightly

Days to Maturity: 180-200 days
Pick: After a few days of the flowers opening and closing (they close up at night/on grey days), and once they have elongated a little bit from their leafy collar.
Notes From The Garden
...
Easy to grow from seed, just a little slow. These take 3-4 weeks to germinate and are seemingly slow growing initally. However, without fail they will produce flowers within 6 months of being grown from seed.
The stem length is amazing and equal to that of corm grown plants, however the flowers are little smaller and the stems a little thinner then corm grown plants - but still perfectly pickable/useable.
Plants will produce a corm in the 1st year which can be harvest and stored at the end of the flowering season. Or left in the garden and they will re-grow again from corms the following season.
I am so excited to finally be able to grow larger amounts of these beautiful anemones at a more affordable price!
