DESCRIPTION: Anemone blanda 'Charmer' is a charming, low-growing variety of Anemone blanda, valued for its brightly colored flowers and its ability to naturalize easily, creating beautiful carpets of color in the garden. The Latin word blanda means "charming" or "graceful," and this variety certainly lives up to its name! Key Features of Anemone blanda 'Charmer': 🌸 Flowers It produces daisy-like flowers in an intense violet-pink color, often with a lighter, almost white base around the center. The center is adorned with a ring of bright yellow stamens, adding a striking contrast. Flowers are approximately 3–4 cm in diameter. 📅 Blooming One of the earliest anemones to bloom in spring—typically from March to April—bringing vibrant color after the dullness of winter. 🌿 Growth Habit This is a fast-growing perennial that forms a compact cushion and gradually spreads over time, creating beautiful patches of color. It reaches a modest height of about 10–15 cm. 🍃 Foliage The leaves are finely divided and green, creating an attractive backdrop for the colorful blooms. 🌱 Naturalization ‘Charmer’ is especially good at naturalizing, meaning it will spread and return to bloom year after year with minimal maintenance. It creates a spontaneous, natural look, especially when planted in large groups. ❄️ Hardiness Generally hardy in USDA zones 5–9, and also resistant to deer and rabbits. 🌼 Versatile Use Ideal for borders, rock gardens, under trees and shrubs (where it blooms before the canopy fills out), and even in pots or containers for a splash of early spring color. 🌿 Cultivation and Care Light: Prefers full sun or partial shade. In regions with hot summers, light afternoon shade can help prolong blooming. Soil: Requires well-drained, fertile soil—preferably slightly alkaline or neutral. Avoid heavy, clay-rich soils that retain too much moisture, especially during dormancy. Planting: Tubers (often called bulbs, but technically tubers) should be planted in autumn, about 5 cm deep and spaced 5–10 cm apart. Soaking them in lukewarm water for a few hours before planting helps rehydrate them. Don’t worry about planting them with a specific side up—the plant will find its way. Watering: Water regularly during the growing season to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Reduce watering after flowering as the foliage begins to fade, since the plant enters a summer dormancy and prefers drier conditions at that time. Fertilizing: Usually doesn’t require much feeding. A light application of balanced fertilizer in early spring can promote more abundant flowering. Pruning: Regular pruning isn’t necessary. You can remove faded flowers for a tidier appearance, but let the foliage die back naturally so the plant can store energy for the next blooming season. Dormancy: After blooming, the plant enters a summer dormancy. The leaves yellow and disappear. During this time, keep watering to a minimum. The plant will re-emerge the following spring. Propagation: Propagate by dividing the tubers during the summer dormancy. You can also collect seeds, though seed-grown plants may take longer to flower and may not be true to type.

PACKAGE: The package contains 10 bulbs of Anemone blanda 'Charmer'. The bulbs have a circumference of 5/6 cm (about 2 cm in diameter). The packaging features a beautiful illustrative photo and includes planting and flowering information, making it an excellent gift idea.

HOW TO GROW: The tubers should be planted in autumn, at about 5 cm (2 inches) deep and approximately 5 cm (2 inches) apart, in full sun or partial shade, either in pots or directly in the ground. Soaking them in lukewarm water for a few hours before planting can help encourage germination. Plant the tubers between September and December. Flowering will occur between March and April.

SELECTION AND QUALITY: The bulbs come with a phytosanitary passport and undergo a strict quality control process to ensure splendid blooms from the first year.
