Care tips
Match the planting site to the type you are growing, but in general give anemones moisture-retentive yet well-drained soil and avoid prolonged winter waterlogging. Mulch around established clumps, deadhead where practical, and allow foliage to feed the roots before tidying it away.
Common pests
Slugs, snails, powdery mildew, crown rot in poorly drained ground.
