Anemone coronaria (De Caen Group) ‘Sylphide’ is a stunning double rose-pink flower with a deep black centre and a soft rosette of ferny foliage.
These pink flowers are a great addition to the front of sunny borders as the low level parsley-like leaves create a carpet. They are also effective at naturalising and will come back year after year. The ‘Sylphide’ can also thrive and delight when planted in pots and containers positioned on patios and seating areas.
These stunning perennials also work well as cut flowers to admire around the home. When planted en masse they will provide a constant of blooms that last for a few weeks.
Prior to planting, anemone bulbs should be soaked in warm water overnight. Plant these bulbs 5cm deep into the soil and 15cm apart from each other, in September to November for growth in early spring, or February to April for growth in late spring and early summer.
Plant in well drained, light sandy soil in full sun or partial shade.
