PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Planting Time
Spring: Plant Anemone in spring as the soil begins to warm. This gives the roots ample time to establish before the blooming season begins.
Autumn: Alternatively, plant it in early autumn, allowing it to settle into the soil before its dormancy period. This encourages strong growth in the following spring.
Site Selection
Sunlight: Anemone grows best in full sun to partial shade. Choose a location that offers at least 4–6 hours of sunlight daily for optimal flowering.
Soil: This perennial prefers fertile, moist, and well-drained soil. Avoid areas prone to waterlogging, as it can lead to root rot. Improve heavy or compacted soils by incorporating organic matter such as compost or well-rotted manure.
Planting Instructions
Prepare the Planting Hole: Dig a hole twice as wide and the same depth as the plant’s root ball to allow roots to spread easily.
Soil Enrichment: Mix compost or organic matter into the soil to enhance fertility and drainage. This helps Anemone x lesseri ‘Spring Beauty Pink’ establish strong roots.
Position the Plant: Place the root ball in the hole, ensuring the crown is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill gently, firming the soil to eliminate air pockets.
Water Thoroughly: After planting, water deeply to settle the soil and encourage root development. Ensure proper drainage to prevent standing water.
Watering Requirements
During Growth: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged while the plant is actively growing. Avoid allowing the soil to dry out completely.
Dormant Season: Reduce watering significantly during dormancy. Water sparingly only if the soil becomes excessively dry.
Feeding Schedule
Early Spring: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring to give your Anemone a strong start for the growing season.
Mid-Summer: A light feeding mid-season can support continued vigour and flowering.
Pruning and Deadheading
Deadheading: Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage new blooms and maintain the plant’s tidy appearance.
Autumn Pruning: After flowering finishes and foliage begins to die back in autumn, cut back the plant to ground level to prepare it for winter dormancy.
Mulching
Spring: Mulch around the base of your Anemone with a 2–3 cm layer of organic material such as bark chips or compost. This helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Winter: Add an extra layer of mulch during winter to protect the roots from frost and temperature fluctuations.
Supporting the Plant
While the stems of Anemone x lesseri ‘Spring Beauty Pink’ are sturdy, you may consider adding light support in windy locations to prevent damage to the blooms.
