Anemone blanda: variety description
Anemone blanda grows short. There are varieties of anemones that grow to a height of no more than ten centimeters. The largest Anemone Blanda can grow up to thirty-five centimeters in height. The root of the plant is presented in the form of a tuber. In the upper part, deciduous and flower buds are being formed. Her leaves are beautiful openwork, green in color. This plant begins to bloom at the end of April. The inflorescences are small in size, reaching a diameter of three to five centimeters, each inflorescence is located on a separate peduncle. Flowers come in a variety of colors, usually white, blue, or pink. But there are also two-color anemones. Anemones do not please the eye so long, about three weeks. After this period, the leaves begin to fade, and the flowers go into a dormant state until spring.

Anemone Blanda: Landing
You can plant the tubers of the blanda anemones in the spring or in the fall closer to winter. But when planting closer to winter, keep in mind that the tubers have time to take root before the onset of frost. Before planting tubers, they should be woken up. We take a shallow container, half filled with water and lower the tubers into the water. Florists who have experience in planting anemones behind their backs are advised to dip the tubers in hot water. The water needs to be changed every day for several days.
The tubers are planted not far from each other, the distance can be left between the tubers 2 centimeters. Plants in such an arrangement will not be cramped, after they have faded, the leaves will turn yellow and fall off.
Many people sometimes forget that they had an anemone blanda and accidentally dig it up when digging a site. To prevent this from happening to you, then enclose the plant with anything.
It is difficult to confuse which side to plant the tuber of the plant, since it looks like a miniature beet and on the upper part there is a seal that remains after the stem is cut. It is this side that should look up when planting anemones blanda. We plant a tuber bulb to a depth of no more than five centimeters. If, nevertheless, you have doubts about how to plant the anemone tuber, then plant it sideways.

Care
Anemone blanda does not require any special care. It is only required to water it regularly after it has been planted in the fall. The bulbs of the tubers of the blanda anemones should take root, and the soil should be dry by this time. Mulching will warn of rapid evaporation of moisture. Well, apply mineral fertilizers when it blooms.
Remember that the abundant flowering of the bland anemone directly depends on the lighting, and, therefore, the more sunlight falls on the anemone, the more luxuriant it will bloom.
