The Bride Anemone (Anemone coronaria ‘The Bride’) captivates with its large, pure white flowers dramatically contrasted by velvety black centres. Blooming from April to June, it brings brightness, elegance, and freshness to spring landscapes, while its finely divided, soft green foliage highlights the delicate beauty of each flower. Reaching 35 to 40 cm in height, this tuberous perennial forms striking groups in flower beds, borders, and containers. Hardy to Zone 7, it requires frost protection in Quebec but remains highly valued for its ornamental appeal and exceptional cut flower quality.

Soak the tubers in lukewarm water for several hours before planting to encourage rapid establishment. In Quebec, plant them in spring after the last frost, approximately 5 cm (2 in) deep and 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6 in) apart. This anemone prefers full sun and light, fertile, perfectly drained soil with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH. Water regularly to keep the soil lightly moist without allowing it to become waterlogged. A light application of compost or balanced fertilizer at the beginning of active growth is generally sufficient. Remove faded flowers to prolong blooming, then allow the foliage to yellow naturally.

Ideal for spring flower beds, borders, large containers, and cutting gardens, this anemone creates an especially refined effect when planted in groups. Its white flowers pair beautifully with tulips, daffodils, grape hyacinths, forget-me-nots, and ranunculus to create luminous, elegant displays. They also attract bees and many other pollinating insects in spring. Their long, sturdy stems provide excellent vase life and are perfect for creating durable fresh bouquets. In colder regions, lift the tubers after the foliage has yellowed and store them in a dry location.
