Plant anemones in autumn or spring, depending on when they are supplied. Plant them during the same season, as prolonged storage can reduce their vigour.

A whole palette of double anemones blooming with Anemone 'St Brigid' in your garden at once in your late spring or early summer garden will surely set you in the right mood for the summer. The cheerful windflowers (as they are also known) will provide a carpet of pure rich colours, with each dainty bloom offering an individual artwork due to the high contrast between its delicately edged centre button and the petal skirt. The Anemone 'St Brigid' collection of double-flowering anemones gives you a far fluffier look thanks to the large number of petals than the single blooms of other anemones. It’s just a matter of personal taste whether you prefer the fuller or the minimalist approach.

Soak them in plain water for two to three hours before planting. This rehydrates them and helps to encourage strong, even growth.
Choose a sheltered position in sun or partial shade with rich, well-drained soil. For containers, use a good-quality peat-free multipurpose compost.
Plant 2–5cm deep and 5–10cm apart, placing them on their sides. Planting in informal groups creates the most natural-looking display.
Water after planting and keep the soil lightly moist, never soggy. In colder areas, protect autumn plantings from hard frost or start them in pots under cover.
