Product Details

Product Details

Anemone blanda 'Blue Shades' offers masses of bluish-purple Daisy-shaped flowers, which bloom in mid-May here in Northwest Connecticut on 3–4″ stems. Superb as an underplanting for midseason Tulips, and Anemone blanda bulbs will easily spread and naturalize for a display year after year.

The daisylike flowers of Anemone blanda belong in every garden because they are inexpensive and easy to grow and are the perfect foil for late Daffodils and all the May-blooming Tulips. Their diminutive stature also makes them ideal for carpeting shrub borders and naturalizing in the lawn. All these delightful bulbs need are well-drained soil and plenty of sunshine before the trees leaf out. For best effect, plant with a lavish hand.

HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED

The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.

WHEN WE SHIP

We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at the expected time of delivery.

extremely cute

I thought I was disappointed and for sure a number of the bulbs didn't come up but the ones that did are so cute and happy that I am going to order more.

Joy and more joy

I planted the 'little raisins' last fall. The instructions and explanations received with the
shipment were very clear. All came up slowly this spring, and anticipation to full flowering was more than rewarded - weeks of a lovely carpet of blue flowers. They put smiles on our faces every time we looked out the window.

anemone tuber

Latin Name Pronunciation: ah-nem'-oh-nee

Bulb size: 6-8 cm 

Soak the tubers overnight before planting. Plant 2-3" deep and 3-4" apart in humus-rich soil (10-15 per sq ft). It's difficult to tell tops from bottoms, so we try to plant these small, flattened tubers on their narrower edges. This woodland plant is adaptable to sunny spots, especially in the North.
