PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Planting Time
- Spring: Plant Anemone ‘Jasmine’ in spring when the soil is warming up. This gives the plant ample time to establish strong roots before the active growing season.
- Autumn: Early autumn planting is ideal for Anemone, allowing it to settle and prepare for robust growth in the following season.
Site Selection
- Light Requirements: Anemone ‘Jasmine’ flourishes in part shade, making it ideal for areas that receive dappled sunlight or morning sun and afternoon shade.
- Soil Conditions: This perennial prefers well-drained, fertile soil. Incorporate organic matter like compost to enhance drainage and provide the nutrients Anemone ‘Jasmine’ needs to thrive.
Planting Instructions
- Prepare the Hole: Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and the same depth. This ensures enough space for the roots of Anemone ‘Jasmine’ to spread comfortably.
- Soil Enrichment: Mix compost or well-rotted manure into the soil to improve its structure and fertility. Anemone benefits from nutrient-rich soil for healthier blooms.
- Positioning the Plant: Place the root ball in the hole with the crown level with the soil surface. Backfill the hole gently, pressing the soil to remove air pockets.
- Watering: Thoroughly water your Anemone after planting to settle the soil and encourage root establishment.
Watering Requirements
- Growing Season: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Anemone ‘Jasmine’ appreciates regular watering, especially during prolonged dry periods.
- Dormant Season: Reduce watering during dormancy. Water only if the soil becomes overly dry, as Anemone ‘Jasmine’ requires minimal moisture during this time.
Feeding
- Spring: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring to give your Anemone a strong start to the growing season.
- Mid-Summer: A light feeding mid-season supports prolonged flowering and ensures Anemone ‘Jasmine’ remains vigorous.
Pruning and Maintenance
- Deadheading: Regularly remove spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering and maintain the plant’s tidy appearance.
- End-of-Season Pruning: Cut back your Anemone to ground level in late autumn after flowering to prepare it for winter dormancy.
Mulching
- Spring Mulch: Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as bark or compost, around your Anemone in spring. This helps retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate temperature.
- Winter Protection: In colder months, add a thicker layer of mulch to protect the roots of Anemone ‘Jasmine’ from frost and temperature fluctuations.
Supporting the Plant
- Staking: While Anemone ‘Jasmine’ typically has sturdy stems, consider staking in exposed or windy areas to prevent damage and maintain an upright habit.
