Poppy anemone 'De Caen Group'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that De Caen Group is thought of as half hardy, so remember to watch your frost dates and ensure you have this plant protected when the temperature dips. De Caen Group needs a sandy soil with a ph of 5.6 to 7.8 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

To speed germination, soak corms in water for 12-24 hours before planting.

Ensure a distance of 3.12 inches (8.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 1.95 inches (5.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 10°C / 50°F to ensure good germination.

Ensure that temperatures are mild (minimum night temperatures should be around 10°C / 50°F) and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as De Caen Group is a half hardy plant.

The De Caen group are hybrids cultivated in the districts of Caen and Bayeux in France in the 18th century.
