Anemone blanda showing?
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?

Yep, mine have been flowering for about 4 weeks now and still going strong,
and I'm quite high up, in the Bolton area. My sister's blandas came up about a week ago, although everything else in her garden is earlier than in mine. "Hussein M." wrote in message ...

Is anyone else growing blanda? Yes, mine are up and showing here in Leeds. Are they better started in the green? -- Kay Easton Edward's earthworm page: http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/edward/index.htm |

The message
from Sacha contains these words: in article , Hussein M. at wrote on 13/4/03 12:36 am: Hi folks, I put some Anemone blanda - rhizomes I think they were - in a patch.

Are you sure yours haven't rotted in wet weather or been eaten by 'something'? -- Sacha 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? Janet G |

Sometimes garden centres have them growing in pots which I suppose achieves the same effect - but expensively. There is a problem often though with dried out rhizomes. It's worth trying to get them from somewhere reliable - mail order e.g. Peter Nyssen is a reasonable bet. It's also reckoned to be quite a good idea to soak them for a few hours if in doubt.

I would have thought that any would be well on by now, so, as Sacha says, its likely that they have rotted, or been eaten, they are usually very tough and spread well.

I would have thought that any would be well on by now, so, as Sacha says, its likely that they have rotted, or been eaten, they are usually very tough and spread well. Actually they came from a very reputable source which has never failed me - their plants are always vigourous. You know what? I reckon the grape hyacinths which are in the same area smothered them out. Yes, OK. the man who pretended he had them under control has mud on his face. I've been weeding grape hyacinths today as a result. Interesting. It doesn't matter how deep Garden Fork inadvertently plonked them, they still reach the surface (blind as bats). Those carelessly left on the surface of the soil don't seem to mind at all and seem to flower brilliantly. Toughies. Actually I'm rather relieved about the blanda because when I cocked my head and looked at that bed, the they would have been rather too gaudy. I hate banishing plants which I have welcomed to a home, so they would probably have been moved round and round the mulberry bush (like the aforementioned grape hyacinths) until exhaustion or my bad manners caused an premature demise. And then there would have been the guilt (which I no longer feel for the hyacinths - jolly good compost) So, I'm going to give blanda a miss methinks and enjoy the more dainty anemones which I have elsewhere.
