Cathy has taken the words out of my mouth with here reference to the vase :) I grow anemones in one of the raised beds at the allotment and last time I visited a couple of weeks ago there were a couple of the pink variety in flower. I think that the blue may still be going too but a combination of the weather and then a bad cold this last week have prevented me visiting. The white flowering variety only lasted one season :(Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059858774072695860.post-15950837457285090032019-03-05T20:40:33.933+00:002019-03-05T20:40:33.933+00:00Typical!

I decided not even to bother planting either tubers or nursery plants this year as last year's "crop" was a major disappointment due to warm temperatures and severe drought. Wouldn't you know that this year would turn out to be especially cool and wet!Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059858774072695860.post-31039943758863262322019-03-04T20:05:01.685+00:002019-03-04T20:05:01.685+00:00Ahhhhhhhhhhhh anemones one of my favourites...dare...Ahhhhhhhhhhhh anemones one of my favourites...dare I try to grow them?

I planted these in autumn. Pre-sprouting them, as advised, so they have started to root and are less likely to rot. Floret gives plenty of advice about growing them. The vase has little bees on it. It was a cheap charity stall find.

Is it the soil conditions, do you think? You are clearly successful in your polytunnel - when do you start them off? Your vase is a bit of a trompe l'oeil as if it looks as if it has got holes in it! And I tried the slitting with a broken stem of hellebore and felt it was successful too, so that's good news for future vases!Cathyhttp://ramblinginthegarden.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
