Spring: The best time to plant Anemone coronaria ‘Harmony White’ is during the spring when the soil begins to warm. This allows the roots to establish themselves before the blooming season begins, ensuring a robust plant that produces beautiful white flowers.
• Autumn: Alternatively, you can plant in early autumn. This provides enough time for the roots to establish before the winter, promoting stronger growth come spring.

Planting Instructions
Prepare the Planting Hole: Dig a hole that is twice the width and depth of the root ball of your Anemone. This gives the roots ample space to spread and grow comfortably.
Soil Preparation: Mix compost or organic matter into the soil to enhance fertility and drainage. Anemone coronaria ‘Harmony White’ will benefit from nutrient-rich soil, promoting vigorous growth and vibrant flowers.
Planting: Place the root ball of into the prepared hole. Ensure the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Gently backfill the hole and firm the soil to eliminate any air pockets.
Watering After Planting: After planting, water your Anemone thoroughly to settle the soil and help the roots establish quickly. Ensure the area drains well to avoid waterlogged conditions.
Watering Requirements
Growing Season: Once established, Anemone is moderately drought-tolerant. Water it during dry spells, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Be sure not to overwater, as excessive moisture can lead to root rot.
• Dormant Season: During the dormant season, reduce watering. Only water Anemone if the soil becomes excessively dry, as the plant requires minimal moisture in winter.
Feeding
Spring: Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring to give Anemone coronaria ‘Harmony White’ a strong start to the growing season. This will support healthy growth and vibrant white flowers.
• Mid-Summer: A light feeding in mid-summer can help keep your Anemone blooming and vigorous throughout the growing season.
Pruning
Deadheading: Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage new blooms and prolong the flowering season. Deadheading also helps keep your Anemone looking neat and tidy.
• Autumn Pruning: After flowering, trim back any remaining stems of your Anemone to ground level. This prepares the plant for winter dormancy and encourages healthy growth the following spring.
Mulching
Spring: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of your Anemone in spring to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Organic materials like bark chips or compost work best.
• Winter: In colder climates, add mulch around the plant during winter to protect the roots from freezing temperatures and prevent frost heaving.
Supporting the Plant
