Anemone blanda--Greek Anemone

Height: 6 in   Spacing:  3 in                               
Type: hardy bulb                                            
Flowers: Pink, white, blue                                  

Comments: Greek Anemone prefers a well-drained soil.  In    
wet, poorly drained soil the tubers rot or winter kill.  A  
sunny location is best although the plants tolerate         
partial shade.  These small, early blooming plants are      
useful as a bedding plant.  The tubers are planted 3 to 4   
inches deep during the fall.  Soak them in water overnight  
before planting.  Tubers planted too deep grow poorly.      

Propagation:  Division is done after the foliage matures.   
Dig and wash the tubers before they harden. Store the       
tubers in dry sand or peat until replanted.                 

Cultivars:                                                  
   Blue Shades - Flowers in various shades of blue.         
   'White Splendor' - White flower have yellow centers.
