The Galilee Pastel blooms with the soft color palette its name promises, emerging reliably across a wide hardiness range. Plant in autumn, wait through winter, and watch as spring unfolds with elegant, upright flowers that seem to glow against early-season foliage. This hybrid combines the garden toughness of Anemone coronaria with an extended growing season, stretching from fall planting through late spring bloom.
Galilee Pastel Anemones are grown for their cut flowers, which hold well in vases and bring delicate pastels indoors. They also anchor spring borders and mixed beds, their upright habit lending structure and grace to early-season garden designs.
No timeline data available yet for this variety.
Plant bulbs outdoors in fall (late October through November) directly where they'll grow. Choose a full-sun location and space bulbs 4 inches apart. Bulbs will establish roots over winter and emerge as temperatures warm in spring.
Plant bulbs directly outdoors in fall for best results. This fall planting is essential to the variety's bloom cycle.
Cut flower stems when blooms are just opening, early in the morning, and place immediately in cool water. Flowers will continue opening over several days in the vase. For bulb lifts in cooler zones, allow foliage to yellow and die back naturally after flowering before digging; this feeds the bulb for next season's performance.
