Anemone leveillei
anemone
- Position: full sun or partial shade
- Soil: moist, fertile, humus-rich soil
- Rate of growth: fast-growing
- Flowering period: April to May
- Hardiness: fully hardy
In late spring and early summer, mounds of deeply divided, softly hairy foliage is topped with elegant, lilac-backed white flowers that have a central cluster of deep purple-blue anthers. Very effective when planted in large numbers where there is reliable soil moisture throughout spring and summer. - Garden care: Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant in spring. Avoid moving the plant since it resents disturbance. Where necessary lift and divide congested clumps in early spring.

Q:
my anemone leveillei has not flowered which i bought from you back in end of april i have grown in a potAsked on 8/16/2014 by mumachum1 answer
A:
Hello,
These are spring-flowering plants, and as we had such a warm start to the year, it may have already flowered before it was delivered to you. It may also need another year to settle in as they dislike root disturbance and often take a while to get over the shock. One other thing to keep in mind is the light levels. These plants are tolerant of some shade, however if it is too dark it will not flower. I would not be too concerned though, as given time and the right conditions, there is no reason why it won't flower.Answered on 8/18/2014 by helen from crocus
