Anemone Blue Shades
Anemone blanda
Specifications
Daisy-like flowers measuring 2-3 inches across open broad and flat in the sun, closing at night and on cloudy days. Their color ranges from deep lavender to a pale mauve that verges on white. Despite the name, true blue is not in the repertoire. Beautiful on its own but perhaps most valuable as a companion for other Early-Mid bloomers, which include early-flowering tulips and a host of daffodils.

Delivery & Planting Times
Spring-flowering bulbs must be planted in the fall. They need cool soil to make roots before the onset of winter. Cool fall weather arrives at different times from north to south and from high elevations to low.
Please note that the temperature of the soil lags behind the air temperature. You can generally plant later than the windows provided in this map. As long as the ground is not frozen, you can still plant.

Planting Instructions
Prefers dappled shade in most climates; will tolerate full sun in northern regions. Grows best in soil that has been loosened before planting. It’s hard to tell top from bottom on anemone tubers, but it doesn’t matter which end is up: The tubers know to send shoots up and roots down.
| Depth of Planting Hole | 2 inches |
| Spacing | 2 inches apart |
