Hi folks,

I put some Anemone blanda - rhizomes I think they were - in a
patch. They aren't showing despite the fact that other Anemones are
not only showing but flowering.

Is anyone else growing blanda?

All ours are in flower. Are you sure yours haven't rotted in wet weather or
been eaten by 'something'?

I believe the rhizomes can dry out sometimes if they've stored for too
long, e.g. in a garden centre.

Another possible reason for failure?
