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.

Add a little sparkle to your garden with this iridescent beauty, Anemone 'Mistral® Rarity'. With sleek predominantly white petals hued with a sleek two-tone mauve and blue shimmer, these fabulous anemones will bring a glistening highlight to any planting scheme. Perfect for cottage gardens, these traditional-looking flowers have all that’s required in terms of softness, informality and breezy habit, but with that exciting twist of shiny, new and unusual at the same time!
Anemones have long been a favourite with florists for their incredibly long-lasting and resilient blooms which just seem to keep on going for weeks after cut. This fancy new Italian Anemone 'Mistral® Rarity' is a darling in the garden too, flowering for months on end. If you stagger your plantings, you can enjoy the flowers throughout late spring, summer and into autumn!

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.
