Planting and Care for Anemone 'Wild Swan'

Anemone 'Wild Swan' is a hardy and low-maintenance perennial that thrives with minimal care. With the right conditions and proper care, this anemone will reward you with lush growth and abundant blooms year after year.

• Height and Spread: Anemone 'Wild Swan' reaches a mature height of approximately 45-60 cm (18-24 inches) and spreads about 45-60 cm (18-24 inches). Its compact size makes it an excellent choice for smaller gardens, as well as for adding structure and color to larger planting schemes.

• Planting Location: Choose a location with partial shade to full sun for planting 'Wild Swan'. While it can tolerate full sun in cooler climates, it performs best in a spot that receives morning sun and afternoon shade, especially in warmer regions. This anemone prefers well-drained, humus-rich soil, making it suitable for a variety of garden settings.

• Soil Requirements: For optimal growth, plant 'Wild Swan' in moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. If your garden soil is heavy or clay-like, consider improving drainage by incorporating compost or leaf mold before planting.

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, particularly during dry spells. Anemone 'Wild Swan' prefers evenly moist conditions but be careful not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot. Mulching around the base of the plant can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

• Fertilization: Feed your anemones with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth and abundant flowering. Additionally, a top dressing of compost or well-rotted manure in spring will provide essential nutrients throughout the growing season.

• Staking: Due to its relatively compact growth habit, 'Wild Swan' generally does not require staking. However, in windy or exposed areas, light support may be beneficial to prevent the stems from flopping over.

• Deadheading: Regularly deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and maintain a tidy appearance. Removing faded blooms also prevents the plant from diverting energy into seed production, allowing it to focus on producing more flowers.

• Winter Care: Anemone 'Wild Swan' is hardy in USDA zones 5-9. In colder climates, mulch the base of the plant with a layer of leaves or straw in late autumn to protect the roots from freezing temperatures. In milder climates, the plant may remain evergreen, but cutting back old foliage in early spring will encourage fresh growth and a tidier appearance.
