With a history rooted in ancient times, the Anemone double Governor stands out for its remarkable resilience and the striking intensity of its scarlet blooms. Recognised for generations by gardeners for its ability to brighten borders with lasting colour, this variety is valued not only for its vivid appearance but also for its strength in changing weather. The Governor’s robust growth and dependable flowering bring consistent structure and vibrancy to gardens throughout the season.
For best results, plant these garden bulbs in spring between April and May, or in autumn from September to October. This gives each bulb time to establish healthy roots and develop strong shoots, supporting reliable growth and a full display during flowering.
Position each bulb at a depth of around 6 cm in light, well-drained soil. Good soil preparation helps ensure healthy development and supports the plant’s natural vigour.
Allow 10 cm between bulbs when planting. This spacing provides each plant with room to grow and enhances the decorative effect of the blooms when in flower.
The Anemone Governor typically reaches 20-30 cm in height. Its compact habit and sturdy stems make it well suited to beds, borders, and container displays.
Expect a long-lasting show of full, red flowers from May to August. This extended flowering period keeps garden spaces colourful for much of the growing season, making these perennial bulbs a valuable addition to any planting scheme.
The Governor variety tolerates winter well but benefits from protective cover in colder periods. Proper mulching or covering helps bulbs survive frost and return strongly in spring.
Anemone Governor is versatile in its uses - ideal for flower beds, rock gardens, container arrangements, and naturalistic plantings. Its rich scarlet flowers offer striking contrast alongside other varieties and are also popular for cutting and bouquets. The compact size makes it suitable for borders and along pathways, providing structure and reliable colour wherever planted.
