Any advice would be of help.
I would think that the worms are probably incidental. Anemone blanda needs adampish cool Summer resting period. They would not be happy in a shallow plant pot where they could get too hot and dry out. Or, get too wet and rot.
The corms need to be planted 3 inches deep in dappled shade.
