DESCRIPTION: Anemone coronaria 'Sylphide', also known as the florist’s anemone or crown anemone 'Sylphide', is a cultivar valued for its vivid-colored flowers and elegance. Here are some characteristics and useful information about this plant: Characteristics: Flowers: The flowers are cup-shaped, often described as semi-double or double, in an intense and bright pink color with a dark center, almost black or deep purple, formed by the stamens. The flowers grow on sturdy stems, making them suitable also as cut flowers. Leaves: The leaves are finely divided and bright green, forming a sort of "bed" at the base of the flowering stems. Habit: It is a perennial herbaceous plant that grows in a compact bushy form, reaching a height of about 25-40 cm (10-16 inches). Blooming: The main flowering period occurs in spring, generally between April and June. In some areas and with staggered planting, it can also bloom in summer. Hardiness: It is generally considered hardy in most parts of the UK (H5) and USDA zones 5-9. However, in colder climates, it may benefit from winter protection. Ideal habitat: Prefers sunny or partially shaded locations and light, sandy, well-drained soils. Avoid waterlogging, especially during dormancy. Cultivation and Care: Planting: The tubers of Anemone coronaria 'Sylphide' can be planted in autumn for spring blooms, or in spring for summer blooms. Before planting, it’s advisable to soak the tubers in lukewarm water for several hours (even overnight) to encourage germination. Plant them about 5 cm (2 inches) deep and spaced about 15 cm (6 inches) apart. Soil: Requires well-drained soil, preferably enriched with humus. In clay soils, adding sand improves drainage. Exposure: Loves full sun but tolerates partial shade, especially in hotter regions where afternoon shade can be beneficial. Watering: During the growing and blooming season, watering should be regular to keep the soil moist but not soggy. During dormancy, keep the soil relatively dry. Fertilizing: In open ground, it generally does not require frequent fertilization. For plants grown in pots, a balanced fertilizer can be applied in spring. Post-bloom care: After flowering, spent flowers can be removed to encourage new bud production (although ‘Sylphide’ is often single-flowered). The foliage can be left to wither naturally to nourish the tuber. Overwintering: In areas with harsh winters, tubers can be dug up in autumn after the foliage yellows and stored in a cool, dry, dark place until the following spring. In mild climates, they can be left in the ground with protective mulching. Propagation: Mainly by division of tubers during dormancy. Garden Uses: Anemone coronaria 'Sylphide' is ideal for: Sunny borders and flower beds. Rock gardens. Containers and pots on balconies and terraces. Cut flowers, thanks to its sturdy stems and beautiful blooms. Creating vibrant color patches in the garden, especially when planted in groups. In summary, Anemone coronaria 'Sylphide' is a charming and relatively easy-to-grow plant that offers spectacular, colorful blooms—perfect to add a touch of elegance to gardens and homes.

HOW TO GROW: The tubers have an irregular, generally flattened shape with one convex side. This side should ideally be planted facing downward, but it’s not essential—sprouts will naturally find their correct orientation. Plant the bulbs about 4–5 cm deep in full sun or partial shade, either in pots or directly in the ground. Space them approximately 5–8 cm apart to allow the lush, deeply notched foliage to develop fully. Plant the tubers between September and December. Flowering will occur between March and June.

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.
