Fantasy™ï¸ Pocahontas Anemone Care

Plant this anemone in moist, well-draining soil. It performs best in partial or dappled sun, preferably with morning sun and afternoon shade. Keep the roots moist. Fantasy™ Pocahontas will colonize and spread underground by its roots and also by seed. When cutting for a flower arrangement, cut the flower in bud form in the cool morning, and bring it inside; the flower will open and last for several days in a vase. To stimulate continual bud production, snip off the spent flowering stems at the first junction of leaves.

Feed anemones yearly in the spring with a well-balanced fertilizer; also, lightly top-dress the soil with organic garden compost to add nutrients to the soil. This perennial will also benefit from a monthly feeding with a diluted, balanced, liquid fertilizer during the growing season. Anemones can be pruned back in late fall after the first hard frost. The easiest way to propagate Fantasy™ Pocahontas Anemone is by dividing the plant in spring. 

Fantasy™ï¸ Pocahontas Anemone Spacing

Fantasy™ Pocahontas Anemone is lovely in mixed perennial beds and borders, and in coastal, cottage-style, and cutting gardens. Space plants approximately 18 inches apart to allow them to reach their mature spread and receive proper air circulation.
