Overview

Anemone 'De Caen' Mixed: The Jewel-Toned Florist's Favourite

Anemone 'De Caen' Mixed is one of the most useful anemone flower bulbs for sale if you want real cut flower colour from spring through summer. The mix covers the four main De Caen varieties - 'Hollandia' (red), 'Mr Fokker' (violet-blue), 'Sylphide' (violet), and 'The Bride' (white) - all with the dark central eye and lightly crinkled petals that make them easy to identify and hard to leave in the ground. Stems grow straight to 25–30 cm and last well in water, up to two weeks if cut when the bud is just showing colour.

Key Features

Colours in the mix: Red, violet-blue, violet, white and pink across the named varieties. If you are specifically looking for white anemone bulbs for sale, this mix includes 'The Bride' alongside the full range - useful for arrangements that need a neutral to balance the stronger tones.
Cut flower performance: Straight stems, long vase life, and flowers that open gradually over several days. A consistent choice for home florists and anyone running a cutting patch.
Flexible planting window: Spring planting anemone bulbs from March gives you summer flowers; plant in autumn for a late spring display. Spring anemone bulbs are the more common choice in Ireland, but both windows work reliably.
Compact and versatile: At 25–30 cm they fit at the front of a border, in containers, or in a dedicated cutting row without crowding taller plants.

Gardener's Tip

Anemone corms look like small dried claws when they arrive - that is completely normal and not a sign of poor quality. Soak them in lukewarm water for 3 to 6 hours before planting and they will plump up considerably. This step makes a noticeable difference to how quickly and evenly they sprout. Plant with the claws pointing downward, or on their side if the orientation is not obvious. For gardeners ordering anemone bulbs in Ireland with heavier soils, drainage matters more than most - they will not recover well from a waterlogged winter.
