Planting Instructions

To enjoy the vivid charm of Anemone Coronaria 'Duet', follow these simple steps:

1. Soak Before Planting: Soak the knobbly corms in lukewarm water for 6–8 hours before planting. This helps to rehydrate them and encourage sprouting.
2. Planting Time:
   • Spring flowering: Plant in autumn (September–November).
   • Summer flowering: Plant in late winter to early spring (February–April).
3. Location: Choose a sunny or lightly shaded spot with well-drained soil. Ideal for borders, pots, or naturalised drifts.
4. Depth & Spacing: Plant 5–8 cm deep and 10 cm apart, with the pointy side down. If unsure, plant sideways.
5. Watering: Water after planting and keep the soil moist during growth, but not waterlogged.
6. Aftercare: Allow foliage to die back naturally after flowering. Corms can be left in the ground in milder regions or lifted and stored cool and dry over winter.

Enjoy weeks of jewel-like blooms perfect for cutting or garden colour.
