Follow this comprehensive guide to help Anemone ‘Ruffled Swan’ PBR thrive and add timeless beauty to your outdoor space.

PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Planting Time
  • Spring: Plant Anemone ‘Ruffled Swan’ PBR in spring when the soil is workable and starting to warm. This timing allows the roots to establish strongly before the flowering season.
  • Autumn: Alternatively, plant in early autumn to give the plant a head start, allowing it to settle in before dormancy and encouraging robust growth come spring.
Site Selection
  • Sunlight: Anemone ‘Ruffled Swan’ PBR flourishes in partial shade but can tolerate full sun with consistent moisture. Choose a spot that provides dappled light or morning sun with some afternoon shade for the best results.
  • Soil: Opt for well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Avoid heavy, waterlogged soil as this can lead to root rot. Amending with compost or leaf mould enhances soil structure and fertility.
Planting Instructions
  1. Prepare the Planting Area: Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and as deep as the root ball itself. This allows Anemone ‘Ruffled Swan’ PBR plenty of room to establish.
  2. Improve the Soil: Incorporate compost or well-rotted manure into the soil to promote healthy growth and blooms.
  3. Position the Plant: Place the plant in the hole, ensuring the crown is level with the soil surface. Fill the hole gently, firming the soil to remove air pockets.
  4. Water Thoroughly: Water well after planting to help settle the soil and establish a strong root system.
Watering Requirements
  • Growing Season: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Anemone requires regular watering during its active growth phase, especially in dry periods.
  • Dormant Period: Reduce watering during dormancy, ensuring the soil does not completely dry out but avoiding overwatering to prevent fungal issues.
Feeding Anemone ‘Ruffled Swan’ PBR
  • Spring: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring to support vigorous growth and abundant flowering.
  • Mid-Summer: A light feeding in mid-summer ensures your Anemone continues to produce its elegant blooms and maintain its vitality.
Pruning and Maintenance
  • Deadheading: Regularly remove spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering and keep the plant looking tidy. Deadheading promotes energy redirection to produce new flowers.
  • End of Season: After the flowering period ends, cut back foliage to ground level in late autumn to prepare your Anemone for winter dormancy.
Mulching Tips
  • Spring Mulching: Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base of your Anemone in spring. This helps retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
  • Winter Protection: Add a thicker layer of mulch in winter to insulate the roots and protect against frost damage, ensuring the plant survives and thrives for the next season.
Supporting the Plant
  • Staking: Though Anemone ‘Ruffled Swan’ PBR has sturdy stems, staking may be beneficial in areas prone to strong winds. Use unobtrusive supports to maintain the plant’s natural elegance.
Final Tips

Anemone ‘Ruffled Swan’ PBR is an excellent choice for adding a touch of refined beauty to any garden. By planting it in well-drained, fertile soil and providing partial shade, this hardy perennial will reward you with graceful blooms throughout the season. Incorporate Anemone ‘Ruffled Swan’ PBR into your garden for a versatile and elegant addition that enhances your outdoor space year after year.

    I am so pleased to have recently discovered Proctors Nursery. I have ordered quite a few plants from them in the last few weeks and all have been excellent quality, well cared for and very good value.

    Really healthy plants. Can’t wait to see these flower

    I have bought a large number of plants so this comment covers all of them. The packaging was excellent which kept all the plants in great condition when they arrived. The plants were well-grown and still damp. They are not big enough to put into my heavily planted boarders so will be put in a nursery bed until big enough to cope. There is no reason why they should not do well. Very pleased with my purchase and told other people about the nursery.

    Again, a triumph for Proctors.

  24. Robert H. (verified owner) –

    The ease of buying, correspondence and delivery time were all brilliant. Unfortunately, 1 of the 3 plants I ordered looked in much worse shape than the others when it arrived so I’m not sure if it will grow well but only time will tell. If it wasn’t for that 1 plant it’d be an easy 5 stars.

  25. Jane (verified owner) –

    Very health looking plants sent which very well packed for a safe delivery, really pleased
