About Anemone blanda (grecian windflower)
Blue daisy-like flowers from knobbly rhizomatous tubers that look like small dried-up twigs.
Depth and spacing
Typical range: 5 cm deep and 8-10 cm apart. A general rule is to plant at two to three times the height of the tuber; check the label for your variety. The drawing is to scale for 5 cm deep and 9 cm apart (the size of the organ is illustrative); try your own measurements.
When to plant
Plant in autumn. Plant: from your first autumn frost to 6 weeks after. These are rules of thumb for the northern hemisphere. Enter your frost dates for real dates.
Dividing and propagating
Divide the tubers after the foliage dies back, cutting between knuckles that carry buds.
Lifting and storing
Dry tubers are hard to revive; soak overnight before planting.
