Care for Anemone Coronaria

At the very beginning of my passion for floriculture, I saw luxurious bright flowers in the picture and promised to grow the same ones. It was Coronaria anemone.

Before buying tubers, I read everything I could find about this species. I was not deterred by the frightening stories of experienced gardeners about the capriciousness of the coronaria anemone. I did not want to buy seeds, because it is a long time to wait for flowering! In the summer, in the terrible heat, I dug up the soil, adding sand, dolomite flour and sifted ash-preparing a place for autumn planting. Plant the tubers in the fall, in early October. Never has winter seemed so long to me! As soon as spring came, and the sprouts of the coronaria anemone were born, my joy knew no bounds – I did it! And when it started to bloom, I couldn’t stop looking at it.

Spring that year was early, flowering began on April 9 and lasted almost until the end of May! Then the leaves withered and withered, and in the autumn the flowering was repeated again, although much more modest in terms of the number of flowers and the timing of flowering. I have never noticed any diseases or pests on the coronaria anemone. I didn’t dig them out for the winter, I didn’t even cover them with anything. I admired the bright anemone coronaria for 3 years, and then, in one not very warm spring, they simply did not rise.

As soon as we finish the redevelopment of the yard, determine where the new flower beds will be, I will definitely re-plant the anemone coronaria. But now I’m going to cover her for the winter, so she’ll probably overwinter!
