To make the garden brighter and more fun, it is enough to place a small flower garden on your site where the anemone will grow. This herbaceous perennial plant is also known as anemone. Its delicate petals and thin stems sway gracefully from the slightest breath and vibration of the air. Let's take a closer look at the representatives of these daughters of the winds
Features of the varieties of anemones
The anemone belongs to the buttercup family. There are different varieties of perennials - with pineal tubers or thick developed rhizomes. The former reproduce by dividing the tubers. In the fall, planting material is removed from open ground. In winter, they are laid for storage in cool conditions, but make sure that the tubers do not freeze. Rhizome varieties can be propagated in different ways:
• sowing seeds in the autumn;
• when carrying out artificial stratification - by sowing seeds in spring;
• dividing the plant bush.
In the large family of anemones, there are more than a hundred species. Consider the features of those that have proven to be the most popular in amateur floriculture.
Anemone crown for garden and distillation
It is a perennial of medium height, about 30-50 cm. Among others, this variety stands out for its large flowers - about 7 cm in diameter - and the bright color of petals of various shades: blue, red, purple, pink, crimson. They also come in two colors: red with a white border or center, white with pink and lilac stripes. There are varieties with both simple and semi-double and double flowers.
In the middle lane, the flowering period falls in April-June. In the southern regions, on the Black Sea coast, blooming anemones can be observed as early as February. Here they can be left to winter in the ground. And they start planting their pineal tubers in August-September. Those who are engaged in the cultivation of anemones in the middle lane, with the approach of winter, have to dig out planting material from the ground. Here they begin to disembark in the spring.
Anemones are demanding on the quality of the soil. The earth must be nutritious. In addition, the soil must be permeable to water. Planting holes are dug at a distance of about 10-15 cm. The tubers are immersed to a depth of 7-8 cm.
The crown anemone can be used for forcing in winter. To do this, in the autumn months, the tubers are placed in pots with a diameter of 9 to 11 cm. If you do this already in September, the buds will bloom in January. And for those who want to please their beloved women with these delicate flowers for the holiday of March 8, experts advise to start distilling in October.
The soil in pots with tubers is watered and left in a cool, dark place. The optimum temperature range is + 4… + 6 ° С. When shoots appear, the flowerpots are moved to the light. From that moment on, they need an air temperature within the range of + 10 … + 12 ° С. Watering is done more often. After the anemone has faded, the plants are moved into the ground. When the leaves give up nutrients to the tubers and dry out, the planting material is dug up and sent to storage.
Reproduction methods - sowing seeds and dividing tubers. When sowing seeds, seedlings appear in about a month. With vegetative propagation, dry tubers must first be wetted, and only then proceed to division.
Japanese and forest varieties
These varieties are not so popular in home gardening, but they also deserve attention. Japanese anemone is noticeably taller than its crown cousin. It reaches a height of about 80 cm. White and pink flowers bloom in August. It can also be grown in pots. Among the features of the growing conditions - it needs sufficiently moist soils. These plants are propagated both by seeds and by dividing the roots.
The forest anemone is much lower than others - up to 30 cm. And the oak anemone is up to 20 cm. These perennials stand out with delicate white petals. Flowering period: late spring - early summer.
