Thanks for visiting the Freshcutky organic gardening channel. In the garden, I will answer some of the most common "gardening for beginners" type questions I get, including growing flowers from seed. Growing greens, growing flowers, and planting beautiful organic food is something I'm really passionate about. Thank you for joining me as I learn to grow flowers, cut flowers, vegetables, and much more. Freshcutky youtube channel and related media are for entertainment purposes only.
Many ornamental flowers and cut flowers are TOXIC. ALWAYS do your own research and take responsibility for the plants that you introduce around your kids, pets, and everyone else. Use common sense when handling plant materials: wear gloves, always wash hands, avoid contact with face, etc. NEVER consume any plant which has not been positively identified with complete certainty to be safe and edible. Before planting anything, research to determine whether specific flowers are considered invasive where you live or if there are laws that apply to their planting in your area.

@freshcutky documents the pursuit of my goal of one day owning my own cut flower farm. Along the way, you'll see random projects, cooking, and of course - growing stuff. I'm not an expert, and would never claim to be. There's always more to learn - this is my journey. The purpose of my blog, and other social media accounts (including KZbin) is to share ideas.

So nice to see an anemone video! I have had them for many years but increased my amount this spring. They LOVE the cold. I plant in Oct/Nov in NC. This year I soaked a few hours then directly planted them(no pre-sprouting). They emerged in 2 weeks and grew very slowly until Feb. They made it through 23 degree nights about 6 times with no cover. The rabbits do like to eat the leaves though, so protect with netting if necessary. They started blooming in mid-March and are almost done here due to 80 degree days. Cut when they show color but haven’t opened yet and cut way down to the bottom of the stem. They last pretty long in a vase!

[@suekrebs3497]

I am in zone 5a, southern Wisconsin. I did soak mine for 3 hours and put them in a tray in the dark and cool basement for 2 weeks this winter to presprout. Mine were planted outside on March 21. We had some really cold weather at times and I covered them as needed. Buds are now forming at ground level and the plants look strong. Looking forward to beautiful blooms. Thanks for another enjoyable video!

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

That's so exciting! 🌱🌱🌱

[@joycestempa5647]

It’s September in my zone 7 area and my neighbor just gave me 1 little Anemone plant that’s flowering (little white/pale pink flowers). She said to plant it in shade, which I did but not sure it will survive based on the fact we’re plant sharing in the middle of its bloom season. Based on YOUR video I think I’m going to try ordering the seed to plant next month (October) in a semi-shade area and see if I can manage to over winter them next to my Irises that get about 5-6 hours of afternoon sun. I need to move the irises anyhoo back to a sunnier spot, so if the Anemones take there, they can have the whole 12 foot boarder area. Thanks for the informative video. I appreciate the details and the excellent images!! Wish me luck!!

[@tinakightly1800]

I really appreciated your video, this will be the first time for planting these bulbs.

[@wahwahmoesan5531]

I just watched your video and learned that you put Anemone corn up side down, that is why, plant came up away from the corn. Normally, pointing side is down, to put in the ground. Interesting to see that it works both way. Thanks for the videos.

[@velerialangbehn6088]

This was perfect timing for me. They never come on the market until around March here, which is way too late. I planted anyway, in potting soil, and the potting soil nowadays just holds water way too long. It's been at least 3 to 4 weeks and nothing has come up. So I'm going to dig them up and see if they rotted and I'll bet they did. I soaked mine for like 3 hours and oxygenated them did everything they said to do and nothing. I did plant the ranunculus and five of them are up. But this is my first and it's warm, very warm. I am in North Central Florida zone 9A. All bulbs and tubers etc don't come on the market here until the first part of March which is insane. Here they should be in the fall. Yours are beautiful and now I know what's going on. Thanks so much for the video, it was very timely. Always enjoy your videos. ❤️❤️❤️

[@gardengatesopen]

I think you could order them from a bulb company and get them sent to you sooner. That way you wouldn't have to wait for the retail market...

[@gardengatesopen]

Actually, your Florida location brings up a question I have that would probably pertain to both of us. Maybe some seasoned Anemone growers will help us with the answer... ? I live in zone 7b/8a, and we sometimes have mild Winters. I'm assuming that being in Florida is the same way. Now - if I buy some Anemones, and then give them their needed cold hours in my fridge BEFORE I plant them, this means that they will be all set for the following Spring Show. Ok. Got it. So here's the real question: What about the NEXT YEAR? If I leave them in the ground, bcuz realistically, that IS what I would do! And let's say the next Winter is a very mild Winter. It's sooo mild that the chill requirements for the Anemones (who are still underground) do not get met. They aren't going to bloom, are they? No. But what would they ACTUALLY DO? Would they just pop up and check the temperatures, grow some leaves for stored energy, then go back to bed? Hey - that's a lot like a Midnight Snack isn't it?!!! Or Maybe they won't even pop up & leaf out? Bcuz - Maybe they'll just stay in bed, & just decide to sleep in for that whole year? Is that what would happen? And then, provided they don't rot in the ground all those sleepy months, when we finally DO get a cold Winter, and their chill requirements DO get met, then will that be when they decide to pop up and give us a show? Will they still have the energy? Or Will they absolutely need to be dug up every year, stored, chilled, and then planted again in order for us to have a show? Just like a Tulip? (Which I never have Tulips either bcuz really, I'm not going to dig any bulbs back up. And then having to find a place to store them, that's a whole other can of worms! I mean, I'm just being honest...) Does anyone know the answer to The Life & Mind of an Anemone? Ha! That sounds like a documentary title doesn't it!!

[@velerialangbehn6088]

Gardengates excellent question.

[@gardengatesopen]

@@velerialangbehn6088 it's a very Looooong question!! That's for sure!

[@drhappyplants]

I just got my first anemone - an Italian mistral white/black center. I am absolutely smitten. I think I got the corm at Home Depot and put it in the fall. I live in zone 8B. It just gave a big gorgeous bloom at the beginning of March and has many more coming. I can’t wait to grow more and I was surprised to find there’s not very many videos on KZbin for them. Thank you for this video!

[@GardenMyselfHappy]

Just what I needed to see. I have bought some for the first time. Thanks for making a thorough video.

[@Peterrdee]

I love them so much! I have a bunch of hot pink ones all over my garden, I also have a double white Japanese anemone, Blanca, a few native anemones that are deciduous and the clover looking anemones I would say Japanese anemones are the shade version of the poppy looking ones, super easy both of them!

[@jumptobefree]

Just planted my sprouted anemones into my cold frame beds (Zone 3a). Looking forward to all the blooms!

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

Fantastic! Happy gardening! :) :)

[@gardengatesopen]

I've never grown Anemones before. I always thought it was too warm here in Central Texas, zone 7b/8a for them. They sure are cute tho!! And I bet those bright colors are a sight for gardening eyes to see around February time! Very nice!! Of coarse, your photography always makes them look so good too!! Some Winters are so mild here, I'm not sure that even the night temps get low enough... Certainly those low night temps wouldn't last 2 weeks straight in those warmer Winters! But then, there are the other, colder Winters... Hey!! Looking on the bright side - Perhaps if Global Warming IS going to turn ALL our Winters colder (like this past one), then YES - I WILL be able to grow Anemones!!! WhooooHoooooooo!!! Wow... 🙄 Wait a minute... That's really stretching for the bright side isn't it!! I can just hear me saying something dumb like, "Yes, I'm really enjoying the new effects of Global Warming... It means I have a better bulb turnout in the Spring! By the way, I'm sorry to hear your pipes burst last weekend... But hey - did you plant any Anemones last Fall?!! Bcuz that kinda makes it all worth it, don'tcha think?!" Geeeeez!!! How ridiculous does THAT sound!! Hahahahaha!!!! Oh my gosh, I'm laughing at myself right now! I must be delirious or something!!! And so talkative too! Sheesh!!

[@alissaeyre8302]

I have anemones growing in my hoop house. I'm excited to see them bloom!

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

Hooray! 🌱🌱🌱

[@barbarafegley5566]

I am in zone 6a. You have convinced me to give these a try this fall.

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

Thanks for watching! 🌱🌱🌱

[@Betty-qd8st]

I had one bloom in December. I was shocked and delighted

[@squyrestudio2703]

Will you make a video on how you dig and store your corms when the time comes? Also, wondering where you order your corms from. Thank you ❤️

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

Ideally, the plants should be allowed to die back naturally. They can then be lifted or left in place to perennialize in appropriate growing zones. I transplanted mine simply because I need the garden space for other plants. I found most of my corms locally and ordered a few from floret. Thanks for watching! 🌱🌱🌱

[@brendaferolin8906]

How and when do you harvest the corms for the next season? Or can you keep it the ground?

[@woelmer3457]

Thanks! I am in 6a and planted out in fall, to see if they would survive my winters, and they did! But they are just getting their first buds or some still just popping up, so I hope they have enough time to bloom!

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

That's so exciting!

[@lesyaverbetsky4187]

What state are you in? I’m In zone 6 too. Did you cover with frost cloth ?

[@heirloomheather]

Amazing, you changed my mind about anemones!! I thought they looked like a weird alien flower, but these fall I'll be planting them at the beginnings of my flower farm, thank you!!!

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

Hooray! Thanks so much for watching! :)

[@coloradotulips]

I’ll be trying anemones this coming year. Thank you for the inspiration and information.

[@itsmewende]

Good to know about the cold, here on Maryland's eastern shore it rarely gets below 20, I could probably plant these in Dec., I"ll have to give them a try. Nice too I see the channel has a lot of new subscribers, should keep growing with all the beauty summer will bring.

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

Hopefully, we'll have lots and lots of flowers this summer! Thanks so much for watching! :)

[@janeferguson8678]

Gorgeous!! Planted some last fall and am hoping for results this spring. Thank you.

[@thegonzalezs4953]

Hi , I just bought few bags of seed today , can I plant them directly to the soil or not . This will be my first time growing them , and I’m definitely be subscribing after I finish watching this video

[@monawolfe]

It will prob take between now until fall for me to even secure these... I’ll be watching your older videos on growing these bc I would need to bottle sow or maybe sow in small trays inside clear plastic tubs. My zippered greenhouse got ripped to shreds & kept getting blown around so I don’t think I’ll mess with it this year.

[@brendarosenau5880]

You’ve given me the anemone 🐜 (bug)! I love ❤️ ❤️❤️ these flowers! Just grew them for the first time, and I am having a blast! I have a photo, but am not sure how to share it with you, but I’d like you to see how your videos help! 🙏🏻 Thanks for inspiring me!

That's so awesome! Instagram is always the easiest place to find me. I don't use Facebook much, and my email is FILLED with spam, LOL!

[@OfficialCookieStartsWithC]

Loved your video! You have a lovely , cheerful voice. I just ordered some corms, for white anemones. I am getting married on October 15th and the goal is to time this correctly to harvest them for use as boutonnieres and decor. Do you have a general timeline for planting-bloom?

[@alexanderlilov]

Great video. Thank you. Could you please talk about what to do after they are done blooming .Thanks again .

[@arntyoujustmarvelous]

I'm in Lexington too! I plan on planting these in my front yard landscaping this fall, do you think that will work out outside of a hoop?

I don't think I'm going to try these, but they are sooo pretty!! 🙂

[@michelleadams1210]

Thanks Tonya, I love anemones. Growing them for the first time now. I'm in Australia. I have a question. Should I prune the stem when the flower is finished, or leave it? Will they grow more flowers if I cut them?

[@juliocaballero5122]

Thanks for your video. I live in Chile, and I bought three Caen anemones this year (in pots). When I bought them, they had very large flowers, and little buds just coming up. When flowers deteriorate, I plucked them with the whole stem. The second flowers (from each plant) grew up and open, but they were smaller. They are producing little buds that bloom after. My question is: How can I get larger flowers? I would like to have flowers like the first one the plant had, but they are smaller and smaller. Should I remove the little buds to have larger flowers? Should I select larger flowers instead of more flowers? I will acknowledge your help.

[@grumpyschnauzer]

Do you have to do anything as the flowers wilt before fall? You have very beautiful flowers 💐 Thank you for sharing!

[@drhappyplants]

I want more corms! Can you do a video on propagating? I wonder if they would propagate from cuttings like Dahlia?

[@stephensmythe1432]

THANKYOU for a lovely informative video, just planted some in pots and trays for the first time here in the uk 🇬🇧 they’re now in my heated greenhouse to get started, they’re a lovely flowering plant, just wondering if some could be grown as a pot plant to take inside for a table center piece or something, maybe on a cool window sill ? would love to know your thoughts, anyway, Ta for the video and kind regards from Derbyshire England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍

As far as I can tell, they're doing well. I'll probably do an update on them in the fall.

[@leiaflash5055]

All your flowers are so beautiful :) I tried to grow anemones this year, they sprouted and leafed out but alas no blooms! I started them in my garage so I wonder if there isn't enough light for it?

[@gardengatesopen]

What zone are you in? Maybe the temps outside weren't right for them? Too warm? Or Too cold? I dunno, I'm just guessing. I've never grown them before. But I may start trying... They seem like the kind of plant that prefers to go straight into the ground... ? Again, just guessing.

[@leiaflash5055]

@@gardengatesopen I'm in zone 6a. We had a pretty harsh winter in late Jan to February. My anemones are still in the garage...

[@gardengatesopen]

Ohhhhhhh... Perhaps they will feel more comfortable flowering when they get their feet out of a pot & into the Earth? Bulbs are weird like that! It's like they have eyes, they seem to know where they are, and also know when things aren't quite right! And so maybe they're just waiting to feel "right"...

Do you dig up the corms after flowering and plant something else or do they stay in forever?

[@marybarrett250]

I’m curious about this flower. I will look into them further. Raccoons dug up my front lawn so I am wondering if I could plant these mixed with low growing white clover and have a ground cover instead of grass?

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

I've never noticed any problems with animals digging these up. There's another type of anemone - anemone blanda - that might be better suited as a ground cover. Thanks for watching!

[@ameliazenerino4576]

I started anemones and ranunculus in a small greenhouse in October. They still got hit hard by the cold Temps, maybe not the best greenhouse. Now they are barely putting anything out in mid-March

Thank you for your instructions on anemones. I was curious to know if they can be fall planted in zone 7a (NE TN)? I grow cut flowers for several florists in my area and am interested in expanding my offerings of cool season flowers. Thank you!

[@TONYAwiththeflowers]

I'm further north, so I definitely think anemones can be successful from a fall planting. However, I don't know how they would do without protection from a frost blanket or row cover. It takes a little bit of trial and error, but I think the results are worth it. Thanks so much for watching! :)

It just depends on your temperatures. If your temperatures are mild during the summer, the timing might be perfect. Our temperatures get very warm, very quickly here in the spring - so it's best that I grow them through the winter. Thanks so much for watching! :)
