Description
In Greek meadows, large-flowered, colourful anemones are still plentiful. They are excellent cut flowers and also combine well with other bulbous plants, as has been the case in recent years in mixed plantings.
Anemones flower longer if the spent flowers are twisted off with stem and all.
The tubers on offer are grown in the Netherlands.
BELONGS TO THE FAMILY OF RANUNCULACEAE
Anemone or windflower. Origin: from Southeast Europe to Central Asia. Carolus Clusius introduced this plant to the Netherlands over 400 years ago.
Anemones are particularly loved for their contrasting, bright colors. There are as many as 70 known species. According to a Greek legend: The tears that Aphrodite wept for the dying Adonis rolled onto the earth and turned into anemones.
