ACIDANTHERA & ANEMONE 

Acidanthera (Peacock Orchid)

Beautiful 2-3” fragrant white flowers with a mahogany throat. Stems are 30” tall and the plant makes a great statement when planted in groups of 10-12 corms.

Location: Sunny spot with soil that drains well

Plant 4-5” deep and 5” apart

Flowering time: July-October

Anemone coronaria

Bright and cheery, these colorful 2” wide flowers on 18” stems make wonderful mass plantings, accent clumps, and container flowers.

Location: Sunny to morning sun in soil that drains well

Plant 1-2” deep and 5” deep. Soak the tubers overnight to jumpstart rooting. The rounded/scarred side should be pointed up. Stagger planting over a few weeks to stretch out bloom time

Flowering time: summer

Storing both: dig up the tubers/corms, wash off soil, and allow to dry. Pack in vermiculite in paper bags and store in a cool, dry spot.
