PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Time to Plant

Planting is best done in spring when the soil has warmed or in early autumn, giving the roots time to establish before the plant’s flowering period or dormancy. Both seasons offer ideal conditions for strong development and improved performance in the next growing season.

Site Selection
  • Sunlight: Choose a location in full sun or partial shade. Anemone × hybrida ‘Pretty Lady Emily’ PBR flourishes with at least a few hours of direct light daily, though it also performs well in dappled conditions.
  • Soil: This plant prefers fertile, moist, but well-drained soil. Avoid sites with standing water or heavy, compacted soil. Improve poor soil by incorporating compost or organic matter before planting.
Planting Instructions
  1. Prepare the Area: Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and the same depth. This gives the roots space to spread comfortably.
  2. Soil Enrichment: Mix compost into the removed soil to improve texture and fertility.
  3. Positioning: Place the Anemone × hybrida ‘Pretty Lady Emily’ PBR into the hole, ensuring the crown is level with the surrounding soil.
  4. Backfill and Water: Refill the hole gently, firming as you go to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting.
Watering Guide
  • Active Growth: Keep soil consistently moist during the growing and flowering season. Water deeply during dry spells, but avoid waterlogging.
  • Dormancy: Once flowering ends and foliage dies back, reduce watering. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent rot.
Feeding Recommendations
  • Spring: Apply a slow-release, balanced fertiliser in early spring to support strong foliage and flower development.
  • Mid-Season Boost: A light feed in mid-summer helps prolong the bloom time of Anemone × hybrida ‘Pretty Lady Emily’ PBR.
Pruning and Maintenance
  • Deadheading: Remove spent blooms regularly to encourage continuous flowering and maintain a neat appearance.
  • End-of-Season Care: After the final blooms fade, allow the foliage to die back naturally. Cut the stems down to ground level once they yellow.
Mulching for Protection and Health
  • Spring Mulching: Apply a generous layer of mulch to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
  • Winter Protection: Before winter, mulch around the base of Anemone × hybrida ‘Pretty Lady Emily’ PBR to insulate the roots and guard against frost damage.
Supporting the Plant

Though compact, Anemone × hybrida ‘Pretty Lady Emily’ PBR may benefit from light staking in exposed areas or during heavy rainfall to prevent stems from flopping.
