Anemone De Caen

[Rosefriend]

I have taken advantage of T & M's offer on Anemone's and before I start googling or looking through my books can anyone tell me..

a) Do these have to be soaked before planting

b) When do I plant them

c) Can they be planted in a container or is the garden better.

Thanks a lot

Soak overnight before planting out.
Plant in Nov for flowers in Feb or April for October.
Well drained rich humus soil is prefered, Plant 4 inches apart 2 inches deep Thrives in sun or light shade.
I think they would be better planted in the ground but cant see why they cant also be planted in containers.

I love them but have never been sucessful with them for some reason, either in the garden of in a pot. Might be something I should give another go. I had some lovely double white ones in a pot, bought them in flower and just transplanted them into a large pot, alas they are no more

I had some luck with them once. When I saw them, I nearly fainted. But I'm giving them another go this year. They are so pretty.
