Galilee Pastel Mix anemone corms bloom in a soft range of blush, lavender, cream, and pale pink, every one centered with a dark eye that adds drama and dimension. One of our strongest sellers for good reason — this flower plays well with every spring palette.
 
Anemone corms (Anemone coronaria, sometimes called poppy anemone) are all the rage with floral designers and brides. These oversized, poppy-like blooms make exceptional cut flowers and last up to 10 days in the vase when cut at the right stage.
 
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 work great in containers, too, if 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.
Each pack contains 20 corms. Ships in fall, timed to your planting window.
 
**This product will ship in the fall when it's time to plant.
