PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Planting Time
The best time to plant Anemone ‘Royal Candy’ is in spring or early autumn, allowing the roots to establish while the soil is moist and easy to work.
Site Selection
Sunlight: Anemone grows well in full sun or partial shade. A position with morning sun and light afternoon shade is ideal for strong growth and flowering.
Soil: Fertile, moist, well-drained soil is best. Adding compost or well-rotted organic matter before planting will improve soil structure and help retain moisture.
Planting Instructions
Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and the same depth.
Mix compost or organic matter into the soil.
Place Anemone ‘Royal Candy’ in the hole with the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil.
Backfill, firm gently, and water thoroughly to help Anemone ‘Royal Candy’ establish quickly.
Watering Requirements
Keep the soil evenly moist during the growing season, especially during dry periods. Anemone prefers consistent moisture but should not sit in waterlogged soil.
Feeding
Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring to encourage healthy foliage and strong flower production. A light feed during the growing season will support continued flowering.
Pruning
Remove faded flowers to keep the plant tidy and encourage further blooms. Cut back dead stems at the end of the season to maintain the shape of Anemone ‘Royal Candy’.
Mulching
Apply organic mulch around the base in spring to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and improve soil quality. Mulching will help Anemone ‘Royal Candy’ maintain healthy growth throughout the season.
Supporting the Plant
In more exposed areas, taller stems may benefit from light staking or support from neighbouring plants to keep your Anemone upright and tidy.
Final Tips
With fertile soil, consistent moisture, and a sunny or partially shaded position, Anemone ‘Royal Candy’ will provide stunning late-season colour and reliable garden performance year after year.
