Anemone corms (Anemone coronaria, sometimes called poppy anemone) are all the rage with floral designers and brides, and for good reason. These oversized, poppy-like blooms make exceptional cut flowers and last up to 10 days in the vase when cut at the right stage.
 
'Carmel White' is the classic panda anemone — a color way as timeless as they come. White petals grow out from a velvety black center, adding serious drama to any arrangement.
 
Flower farmers say to cut after the bloom has opened and closed twice — hard to track in practice, so watch the stem instead: cut when the leaf collar has dropped about 1/8 inch below the base of the flower head.
 
Planting anemone corms:
Soak corms 3–4 hours before planting — they'll swell noticeably. Plant 2 inches deep and 6 inches apart, in full sun and well-drained soil. They are great in containers, too as long as drainage is good.
 
When to plant:
Anemone coronaria is hardy to Zone 7, so in Zone 7 and warmer you can plant directly in the ground in fall for spring blooms. In colder zones, plant in spring, or grow under low tunnels or in containers you can move. Gardeners in Zone 8 (we grow ours in coastal North Carolina) get the longest bloom window. We get blooms starting in December all the way through April. 
 
Each pack contains 20 corms. Ships in fall, timed to your planting window.
