The clean white flowers of Carmel White Anemone appear on neat, upright plants that make them equally at home in the garden bed or vase. Fall planting triggers the cool period these bulbs need to perform their best, rewarding you with spring and summer color when many other plants are fading. The hybrid vigor ensures reliable, robust blooms even in less-than-ideal conditions, and the compact 14 to 16 inch height means you can tuck them into tight spaces or containers without them becoming leggy.

The long, sturdy stems and pure white blooms make it a favorite for floral arrangements, particularly in spring wedding bouquets and modern mixed displays where its clean, graphic flowers command attention.

Plant bulbs directly outdoors in fall (late October through November for best results) at a depth of about 2 inches and spacing of 4 inches apart. In zones 3 through 7, treat as an annual and replant each fall; in zones 8 through 10, they'll naturalize if left undisturbed.
Plant bulbs directly outdoors in the fall. Space 4 inches apart and bury to a depth of approximately 2 inches in well-draining soil.
Cut stems for bouquets in the morning when flowers are just opening, using a sharp knife to sever the stem at soil level. Blooms continue to open over several days indoors, extending their vase life. Allow foliage to remain on the plant until it yellows and dies back naturally; this feeds the bulb for next season's performance.
