How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water regularly.
Pruning
The fading foliage of spring bloomers is usually insignificant enough to wither away unnoticed, so you will not need to prune it for a tidy looking garden. Taller fall-blooming varieties may look shabby after the first frost, so shear off dead growth during early winter clean up.
Fertilizer
You can fertilize the plant every spring using a general, all-purpose mixture.

Sunlight
This member of the buttercup family is a woodland plant that performs best in full or partial shade, such as the dappled light beneath a deciduous tree.
Soil
Wood anemone requires rich, loose soil and benefits from the addition of 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm.) of compost, leaf mulch, or bark chips to the soil before planting.
Temperature
Anemones are frost hardy to -10c but flower spikes will be damaged if frozen (in the UK even Autumn started corms won't flower until April when temperatures have usually recovered) If you are in any doubt sow in the Spring.
