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.

If you want a plant to give colour to your garden in late summer and autumn, this beautiful anemone is it. Producing masses of large, rosy pink, cup-shaped flowers on tall, wiry stems from mid-summer until late September, Anemone 'September Charm' is one of the most reliable and free-flowering of the Japanese anemones. The outer petals are purple-tinted, and they contrast beautifully with the pale pink inner petals. It also has distinctive purple-tinted stems. The leaves are pretty, too — vine-like, dark green, and semi-evergreen!
Anemone × hybrida 'September Charm' is a vigorous, healthy, upright plant — perfect for areas of full sun or partial shade towards the back of a moist herbaceous or mixed border. An indispensable plant that can be left untouched for years. It is also fully hardy – and resistant to rabbit attack! It has received an Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), too.

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.
