Description
We offer a collection of wood anemones bulbs to decorate the shaded and cool areas of your garden. These small wild plants will delight you with their charm and delicate flowering from March to April, with single or double cups in white, pink, or lavender blue. Emerging from beautifully cut foliage, each flower opens to the light and follows the direction of the sun. It closes in the evening or in case of rain, gracefully tilting to the side. All the flowers are oriented in the same way, forming a particularly harmonious carpet.
This Collection consists of:
10 x Anemone nemorosa: the species type, vigorous, with white or sometimes pink flowers.
3 x Anemone nemorosa 'Vestal': a selection with double white flowers, awarded in England by the Royal Horticultural Society for its ornamental qualities and performance in the garden.
3 x Anemone nemorosa 'Robinsoniana': a variety with large pale lavender blue star-shaped flowers and cream-grey undersides.
Plant them in autumn, spacing them 30 cm (12in) apart, in soil rich in humus or compost that doesn't dry out too much in summer. Wood anemones provide good ground cover for all areas of the garden where shade prevails over light. You can use them at the base of hedges, shrubs, and deciduous trees, as well as in shaded borders. Combine them with woodruffs, forget-me-nots, winter aconites, and lily of the valley, as all these plants appreciate the same environments.
In nature, wood anemones grow and flower in spring, when trees are still bare. They complete their growing cycle in summer when their leaves disappear, which coincides with their dormancy period. This is the best time to plant them under trees or at the base of hedges. They are not afraid of competition from the roots of trees and shrubs.

Planting and care
The Anemone nemorosa thrives in partial shade, under a leafy canopy. It can tolerate (non-scorching) sunlight in slightly moist soil. Plant it in fairly rich, humus-bearing, moderately fertile and not too dry, but well-drained soil in the summer. An ideal mix would be a combination of compost and peat soil. Allow the Anemone to naturalise. At the beginning of the growing season, provide it with sfor flowering plants. The soil should not remain waterlogged for long periods as this can lead to the rotting of tubercles. This plant is susceptible to leaf eelworms and occasionally to anemone smut. It can also be affected by black spot disease and powdery mildew, as well as caterpillars and slugs.
When planting, the Wood Anemone comes as a segment of rootstock approximately 2 cm (1in) long and 2 mm (0.05 in) in diameter, packaged in a small peat-filled pouch. The appearance of a "small piece of root" or "twig" can be confusing the first time you plant it. However, it will establish very well!

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
