Anemonopsis macrophylla
FALSE ANEMONE
- Unit price
- / per
Anemonopsis, the false anemone, is a perennial growing approximately 75 cm high, with pale lavender flowers in late summer, each about 2 cm in diameter. The flowers are bowl-shaped with a rosette of petals in the center, and are downward facing. The flowers are held well above the foliage; although not a small plant, the overall impression is one of daintiness and airiness.
Anemonopsis is frost-hardy at least to zone 4. It is a true woodland plant generally requiring except in very cool, damp climates.
Anemonopsis is self-fertile, and will set modest amounts of seed. If sown in containers as soon as ripe and the seed containers exposed to winter chilling, germination will occur the next spring. No particular treatment of seed is necessary other than exposure to ordinary winter chilling.
Type: Hardy perennial
Height: 75 cm, 30"
Location: Shade or part sun in a cooler climate
Hardiness zones: 4-8
Seeds per packet: 3
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 6 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 80 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15-18C, 59-68F) for them to germinate. Germination can be erratic, generally 30-90 days after the warming period for most seeds, though some can take longer.
