As a florist, you’re currently looking for products suitable for presenting at your store entrance or in the outdoor sales area during these still-cool temperatures. Garden centers and DIY stores are gradually expanding their outdoor plant assortments in cold greenhouses. Customers are eagerly awaiting spring!
Previously, we suggested Ranunculus in pots, and now we’re adding Anemone coronaria in pots to our recommendations. The potted Anemone is also perfect for selling from cooler indoor sales areas or outdoor sales spaces.
Did you know that the Anemone belongs to the Ranunculus family?
Anemone coronaria is truly a seasonal product—charming, cheerful winter/spring bloomers often sold as colorful mixes in red, pink, white, and blue. Your customers can creatively use Anemones on terraces or balconies, placed in baskets, pots, or balcony planters, or planted directly into garden borders. Cooler temperatures pose no issue; the Anemone even withstands frost, which can still occur at this time of year.
When customers ask how to enjoy these cheerful spring bloomers for as long as possible, you can offer these tips:
– Provide the Anemone with a bright, preferably sunny spot.
– Ensure proper drainage in baskets, pots, balcony planters, or garden borders—Anemones do not like “wet feet.”
– Once a flower has faded, twist it off, including the stem, to encourage continuous blooming.
An additional benefit is that butterflies and bees love visiting blooming Anemones.
These potted Anemone coronaria are cultivated with care and under optimal conditions by nursery Gevers Planten, located in Heusden, North Brabant (municipality of Asten). This nursery specializes in growing beautiful and vibrant seasonal products. Feel free to explore the nursery’s website. Highly recommended!
