Anemone blanda 'Charmer' (Grecian Windflower) – Deep Pink Spring Flowering Windflower (Bag of 50 Bulbs)

Bring a sweep of soft, rosy-pink colour to your spring garden with Anemone blanda 'Charmer', the Grecian windflower. You get 50 dry tubers in a bag, ready to plant. They are dry tubers, not growing plants.

The photos show the flowers in bloom.

The daisy-like, deep pink flowers appear in early spring and make a low carpet of colour that pairs beautifully with early bulbs such as snowdrops, crocuses and dwarf daffodils. The blooms close at night and on dull days, then open wide in sunshine to show their clear pink petals and pale centres. The leaves are deeply cut, mid-green and fern-like.

This is an easy variety that spreads slowly into larger clumps over time. It suits borders, rockeries and woodland edges, and it is ideal for underplanting trees and shrubs. It is fully hardy in Britain, and it will also grow in a container where your garden soil is unsuitable.

Soak the dry tubers in water for a few hours before planting to help them establish. Plant them in groups about 5-8cm deep in autumn. It is hard to tell which way up they go, so if you are unsure, plant them on their side. Choose well-drained soil in sun or dappled shade. Once established they need very little care. The leaves die down after flowering and the tubers rest through summer.

Bulbs are harmful if eaten. Keep away from children and pets.
