Plant Profile: Anemone coronaria

Flowers bloom in mid-spring, typically in April, and their flowering period lasts around four weeks. These plants grow to a height of approximately 10 to 12 inches and reproduce through seeds and tubers. They thrive in a thermoperiodic cycle that alternates between warm (50-65°F) and cool (35-45°F) temperatures. It is essential to keep the soil moist during the fall and spring seasons.

These flowers are commonly found in landscape flower gardens and should be spaced 1 to 2 inches apart, with a density of 25 to 60 plants per square foot. When planting, ensure that the tubers are placed about 5 inches deep. They are suitable for various settings, including rock gardens, flower beds, borders, and woodland gardens. The primary organ for reproduction is the tuber, which also functions as a spring bulb. These plants are semi-hardy and may suffer damage if exposed to temperatures below 28°F (-2°C) after being planted.
