Carmel White Anemone (Anemone coronaria ‘Carmel White’) captivates with its large, pure white single flowers dramatically contrasted by deep black centres. Blooming from April to June, its elegant flowers rise above finely divided, bright green foliage, bringing freshness and sophistication to spring gardens. Reaching 25 to 30 cm in height, this tuberous perennial forms striking, luminous drifts in flower beds and containers. Hardy to Zone 7, it requires winter protection in Quebec, but its exceptional vase life also makes it one of the finest anemones for cut flower production.

Soak the tubers in lukewarm water for several hours before planting to encourage rapid establishment. 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 evenly moist without allowing it to become waterlogged. A light application of compost or a balanced fertilizer at the beginning of active growth is generally sufficient. Remove faded flowers to encourage continuous blooming, then allow the foliage to yellow naturally.

Ideal for spring flower beds, borders, containers, and cutting gardens, this anemone pairs beautifully with tulips, daffodils, grape hyacinths, forget-me-nots, and ranunculus. Its large white flowers create refined, luminous displays, especially when planted in groups. They also attract bees and other pollinating insects during spring. Their long, sturdy stems make outstanding fresh bouquets with excellent vase life. In colder regions, lift the tubers after the foliage has yellowed and store them in a cool, dry place until the next planting season.
