Description

Anemone coronaria Mount Everest is a go to choice for customers who want crisp white flowers with a refined finish in spring beds and containers. The blooms are large, bright and high contrast, with a clear centre that gives them a fresh modern look and makes them useful for bouquets and event style arrangements. Planted in groups, they create a strong block of white that lifts darker planting palettes and works well in formal or contemporary designs.

These anemones are also excellent for layering in seasonal planting. They combine well with spring bulbs like tulips and narcissus, and they thread neatly through forget me nots, violas and early hardy perennials. The open flower shape suits pollinator friendly planting in mild spring weather, adding both beauty and function.

Soak corms before planting to speed establishment. Plant in autumn for earlier spring flowering, or in early spring for later blooms, in a sunny, sheltered spot. Use free draining soil and avoid waterlogged areas, which can cause corm failure in Irish winters. Keep moisture steady during growth, deadhead to extend the display, and allow foliage to die back naturally afterwards. In wetter gardens, lifting and drying corms after flowering can improve long term reliability.
