I have picked out 3 contrasting sorts that are worth seeking out.</p> <p><strong>Wood Anemones, Wind Flower and Anemone Blanda</strong></p> <ul> <li>Daisy-like flowers in white and purple to form a carpet of dazzling colour.</li> <li>These low-growing Anemones are extremely free-flowering and produce an eye catching mass</li> <li>With lush, fern-like foliage, they’re great for <a title="planting" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/planting/">planting</a> beneath <a title="Daffodils" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/daffodils/">Daffodils</a> and Tulips, shrubs and trees.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Japanese Anemone</strong></p> <ul> <li>Named varieties to look our for Prinz heinrich a semi-double with purple flowers. Queen Charlotte semi-doule pink, <a title="September" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/september/">September</a> Charm pink, Whirlwind semi-double white and Honorine Joberet the popular white with golden stamens</li> <li>Unlike the spring varieties they flower in Autumn on long stems up to 5′ tall</li> <li>The white Honorine Jubert is a striking plant and flowers in a shady position</li> <li>Propagate <strong><em>economically by <a href="http://gardenerstips.co.uk/blog/tips/how-to-take-root-cuttings/">root cuttings</a> </em></strong>from established plants</li> </ul> <p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/images/plants/anemone.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p><strong>Blousey Florists Anemones</strong></p> <ul> <li> Anemone De Caen ‘Hollandia’ a scarlet flower on 10″ stems and St Brigid The Governor have performed exceptionally well this year. I have grown them in peat and peat with some grit to keep the compost open and they have remained reasonably moist.</li> <li>In pots the flowers are less robust than those in the garden.</li> <li>You can grow them from dark wrinkled tubers bought later in summer.</li> <li>Soak overnight in rain water before planting will speed up germination.</li> </ul> <p><a href="http://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=2283&awinaffid=81944&clickref=&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thompson-morgan.com/plants1/product/p80339/1.html">Anemone de Caen</a> at T&M</p> <p><a href="http://awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=2283&awinaffid=81944&clickref=&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thompson-morgan.com/plants1/product/p84484/1.html">Blue and white wind flowers</a></p> <p><a href="http://awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=2283&awinaffid=81944&clickref=&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thompson-morgan.com/plants1/product/p7048/1.html">Anemone blanda</a></p> <div style="display: none">VN:F [1.6.3_896]</div><div class="ratingblock"><div class="ratingblock "><div class="ratingheader ">Rate this Article</div><div class="ratingstars "><div id="article_rater_27639" class="ratepost gdsr-soft gdsr-size-24"><div class="starsbar gdsr-size-24"><div class="gdouter gdheight"><div id="gdr_vote_a27639" style="width: 0px;" class="gdinner gdheight"></div><div id="gdr_stars_a27639" class="gdsr_rating_as"><a id="gdsrX27639X5X0XaXarticle_rater_27639Xarticle_loader_27639X10X24" title="5 / 5" class="s5" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX27639X4X0XaXarticle_rater_27639Xarticle_loader_27639X10X24" title="4 / 5" class="s4" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX27639X3X0XaXarticle_rater_27639Xarticle_loader_27639X10X24" title="3 / 5" class="s3" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX27639X2X0XaXarticle_rater_27639Xarticle_loader_27639X10X24" title="2 / 5" class="s2" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX27639X1X0XaXarticle_rater_27639Xarticle_loader_27639X10X24" title="1 / 5" class="s1" rel="nofollow"></a></div></div></div></div><div id="article_loader_27639" style="display: none; width: 120px; " class="ratingloader article"><div class="loader flower " style="height: 24px"><div class="loaderinner" style="padding-top: 2px">please wait...</div></div></div></div><div class="ratingtext "><div id="gdr_text_a27639">Rating: 0.0/<strong>5</strong> (0 votes cast)</div></div></div></div>
