Scatter these at the front of the border and plant them where they fall for a naturalised effect, or sink them into seasonal pots or windowboxes, and in spring they will create a carpet of attractive foliage and gorgeous, rich pink flowers. Given space, they will gradually spread year on year, forming a generous, low maintenance swathe that will herald the start of the growing season.
How to care for Anemone blanda Charmer:
Soak the tubers overnight in cool water and plant them in naturalistic drifts (it doesn't matter which way up) 5cm deep and 15cm apart from September to November, or (for later flowers in spring), February to April. Ideally you should choose a spot where they can be left undisturbed so they can naturalise and spread. Avoid excessively wet conditions when dormant.
