PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Planting Time
Spring: Plant Anemone hupenhensis ‘Splendens’ in spring when the soil has started to warm. This allows the plant to establish strong roots ahead of its flowering season.
Autumn: Planting in early autumn gives your Anemone time to settle and develop before dormancy, ensuring robust growth next year.
Site Selection
Sunlight: Anemone hupenhensis ‘Splendens’ flourishes in full sun to partial shade. Choose a spot that receives at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily.
Soil: Well-drained soil is essential for Anemone. Avoid waterlogged areas to prevent root rot. Add organic matter like compost to improve drainage and soil structure.
Planting Instructions
Prepare the Hole: Dig a hole twice as wide and as deep as the root ball. This gives Anemone hupenhensis ‘Splendens’ ample space to spread its roots.
Enhance the Soil: Mix in compost or organic matter to enrich the soil. This encourages healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
Position the Plant: Place your Anemone in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill gently, pressing to remove air pockets.
Water Thoroughly: After planting, water well to help the roots establish. Ensure excess water drains away.
Watering Requirements
Active Growth: Water your Anemone regularly during its growing season, especially in dry spells. Let the soil slightly dry between watering.
Dormant Season: Reduce watering during dormancy. Water sparingly to avoid overly dry conditions.
Feeding
Spring: Use a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring to support new growth.
Mid-Season: A light feed during mid-summer ensures prolonged blooming and strong foliage.
Pruning
Deadheading: Remove faded blooms from your Anemone to promote continuous flowering and maintain a tidy appearance.
Autumn Clean-Up: After the last flowers fade, cut back the stems to ground level. This prepares the plant for winter dormancy.
Mulching
Spring: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of your Anemone to conserve moisture, reduce weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
Winter: A protective mulch layer in winter insulates the roots from harsh temperatures and prevents frost heaving.
Supporting the Plant
Staking: Although the tall stems of Anemone hupenhensis ‘Splendens’ are usually sturdy, consider staking in windy areas to prevent damage.
Final Tips
Anemone hupenhensis ‘Splendens’ is a hardy, low-maintenance perennial that rewards gardeners with late-summer and early-autumn blooms. By choosing the right site, providing well-drained soil, and following this care guide, your Anemone will thrive, adding lasting beauty to your outdoor space.
