Anemone double - Lord Lieutenant - Striking Violet Garden Accent - Bulbs - Medium Pack - 40 pcs

The Anemone double 'Lord Lieutenant' stands out for its robust nature and vivid violet blooms, offering a striking presence wherever it is planted. With a compact height of 20-30 cm, this variety adapts well to garden beds, rockeries, or containers, making it a practical choice for those seeking long-lasting colour in smaller spaces. Known for its resilience in changing weather, 'Lord Lieutenant' is suited to outdoor planting and, with proper winter protection, reliably returns each year. Its full, intensely purple flowers add a distinctive touch to any setting, drawing attention and lending a unique character to planting schemes.

Planting Time

Plant these garden bulbs in either spring (April-May) or autumn (September-October). Both periods are suitable for establishing strong, healthy plants that develop well and flower abundantly.

Planting Depth

Bulbs should be planted at a depth of 6-8 cm. This depth provides insulation against temperature fluctuations and encourages the formation of a sturdy root system.

Spacing

Allow 10 cm between each bulb when planting. Adequate spacing supports healthy growth and enables the plants to form attractive, dense clusters.

Height

'Lord Lieutenant' typically reaches 20-30 cm in height. Its modest size makes it suitable for front-of-border displays, edging, or low container arrangements.

Flowering Time

This perennial blooms from June to August, producing double, purple flowers over several weeks. The extended flowering period helps maintain vibrant garden colour throughout the summer.

Hardiness & Overwintering

While these perennial bulbs are hardy enough to overwinter in the ground, they do require a protective mulch or covering during colder months to prevent frost damage. Simple measures, such as a layer of mulch or horticultural fleece, are usually sufficient.

Uses

'Lord Lieutenant' is ideal for group plantings in borders, rock gardens, and containers on patios or balconies. Its vivid blooms complement other perennials and can be cut for use in floral arrangements, allowing you to enjoy their colour indoors as well.
