Note, the anemone corms this year are noticeably smaller than years past. MPI changed the import rules (which has effectively made it impossible to import the corms from Italy as we usually have done). We have however grown the corms from seeds ourselves this season. This was our first ever attempt to do so, and the corms have mostly ended up being smaller than normal.

Whilst of course we wish the corms were bigger, we have no doubt whatsoever that they will still grow and flower like normal for you. The only thing it really changes is they might be touch slower right out of the gate, but once they're up and growing they do tend to catch up in no time.

The corms we germination tested before selling are doing really well, and now about 2 months later we can barely even tell the difference between the plants from our smaller, slower out of the gate corms compared to the plants from some larger usual corms we had left over from last years imports.

However in saying all of that, if corm size is really important to you, then unfortunately our corms this year probably aren't for you.

The Italians sure know how to breed colour perfection! Azzuro is the absolute perfect lilac blue anemone - while other series are similar, Azzurro has a depth of colour that takes them to a whole other level!

I've found the Mistral series to be slightly less productive than other series - but in the best possible way! I often found other series to be tiresome to keep on top of their constant never ending harvesting and constant deadheading, but the Mistrals were that perfect balance of productive without crossing the line of being unmanageable (unless you were shifting and setting up farms and everything in spring was unmanageable like me last spring :)
