Anemone coronaria

Anemone 'The Bride' is a graceful spring-flowering corm producing elegant white, poppy-like blooms with luminous centers held above finely divided fern-like foliage. Beloved by gardeners and florists alike, it brings an effortless sense of lightness to borders, containers, and cutting gardens.

Blooming in mid to late spring, the pure white flowers seem to float above the foliage, pairing beautifully with tulips, narcissus, forget-me-nots, and emerging perennials. Their simple form and exceptional vase life make them one of the finest flowers for spring bouquets.

Anemones thrive in full sun to light afternoon shade with fertile, well-drained soil. Soaking the corms before planting encourages faster establishment and more vigorous growth. In colder regions they may be treated as annuals or lifted after flowering, while in milder climates they often return for several seasons.

One package contains 15 corms.

Corms will collect in your Trug until you checkout.

Growing Guide

Planting Depth

Plant corms 2–3 inches deep.

Germination

Not applicable. Corms produce shoots after planting.

Pre-Planting

Soak corms in room-temperature water for 3–4 hours before planting to encourage faster sprouting.

Planting Time

Plant in fall in Zones 7–10 for spring flowers. In colder climates, plant in early spring once the soil is workable.

Placement & Cultivation

Choose a sunny location with rich, well-drained soil. Incorporate compost before planting. Keep soil evenly moist during active growth, then allow foliage to die back naturally after flowering.

Final Spacing

4–6 inches

Water Requirements

Moderate. Water regularly during growth but avoid saturated soil.

Soil pH

Neutral to slightly alkaline preferred.

Fertilizer

Work compost into the soil before planting. A balanced fertilizer at emergence encourages strong flowering.

Pests & Diseases

Generally easy to grow. Poor drainage may lead to corm rot. Deer and rabbits typically browse less frequently than many spring bulbs, though protection may be needed in some gardens.

Cut Flower Use

Harvest stems when buds begin to open and show color. Exceptionally long-lasting in the vase, often flowering for 7–10 days indoors.
