Unpack bare roots or rhizomes on arrival and plant them within a week. Until then, keep them somewhere cool and ensure the roots remain slightly moist, never wet.

Anemone
'Königin Charlotte'
Japanese anemone
A beautiful tall Japanese anemone for the garden border, Anemone × hybrida 'Königin Charlotte' brings wonderful colour in late summer and autumn. It carries masses of large, semi-double, pink, cup-shaped flowers on tall, wiry stems from August through to October. The leaves are attractive, too: like small vine-leaves, they are dark green and semi-evergreen (so the plant is not completely bare over winter). This is an award-winning Anemone — including an Award of Garden merit from the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) — that is perfect for areas of partial shade towards the back of a moist herbaceous or mixed border!
If left undisturbed, Anemone 'Königin Charlotte' will spread to form a most majestic clump. And, after a few years, you will be able to lift and divide the mature clump, in early spring, to give yourself many more, and an even greater splash of late summer colour.

Plant calendar
Remove the packaging straight away, check the compost and water thoroughly if dry. Check the plant’s hardiness before placing it outdoors. Plant into a border or permanent container within a month, choosing the position recommended for the variety. Keep the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil, firm gently and water well.
Soak the roots in water for three to six hours immediately before planting. Keep any crown, buds or emerging shoots above the water where possible.
Pot most bare roots into 15–20cm pots filled with peat-free multipurpose compost. Large or depth-sensitive roots, including peonies, are often best planted directly into borders.
Arrange the roots naturally without bending them. Cover the roots completely, positioning the crown and buds at the depth recommended for that particular perennial.
Keep pots in a sheltered outdoor position and water whenever the compost begins to dry. Grow on until roots hold the compost together when lifted from the pot.
Plant into a suitable border or permanent container once well rooted. Add a label and water regularly throughout the first growing season while the perennial establishes.
