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.
"Tiger, tiger burning bright – in your garden, day and night!" With apologies to the poet, this is the line that springs to mind as we look at the truly superb tiger-striped blooms of the aptly named Anemone 'Mistral® Tigre'. We didn’t find our tigre stalking through the jungle. Instead, we found her at the horticultural trade fair at Essen that draws thousands of plant specialists from around the world. Here, we met Anemone 'Mistral® Tigre's Italian creator, a plant breeder with an eye for anemones.

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.
