Anemone 'Mr. Fokker' Windflower Bulbs

Plant Anemone 'Mr. Fokker' bulbs in fall (warm climates) or early spring after the last frost (cold climates) for a stunning display of dark blue, open-faced blooms with a striking dark center. These velvety, poppy-like flowers, borne singly on long, sturdy stems 12 to 18 inches tall, create a dramatic visual impact in gardens and make exquisite cut flowers. Their vibrant color also attracts butterflies, enhancing the garden's charm.

An Anemone coronaria cultivar, commonly called wind flower, 'Mr. Fokker' is a clump-forming perennial (Zones 7-10) with finely divided, ferny green foliage. Perfect as a ground cover or in woodland and rock gardens, it shines when planted in sweeping drifts of about 16 bulbs per square foot. Pair 'Mr. Fokker' with late daffodils or tulips for a complementary burst of color. Its compact size also makes it an excellent container choice.

Effortlessly easy to grow, 'Mr. Fokker' thrives in a wide range of soils, from acidic to alkaline, and prefers full sun but tolerates light shade in hotter climates. Fertilize in spring as new growth emerges. Deer and rabbit resistant, this anemone ensures worry-free beauty all season long.

To plant, soak the small corms in lukewarm water for several hours or overnight before placing them 2 to 3 inches deep and 3 to 6 inches apart. In Zones 3-6, lift bulbs in fall for overwintering. For captivating spring displays, 'Mr. Fokker' is a truly unique garden treasure.
