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.

BCN aka Bianco Centro Nero aka my favourite anemone ever!!

The perfect blushy panda/ black/white anemones! Starting out as a creamy blush they open into soft red blush tinged white anemones, with black centres (more often with warmer/red coloured stamen stems).

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 :) And these BCN were probably the only anemone I just about kept up with harvesting every single stem as it was that popular and good! If you're growing for events, or retail or just for yourself these are my top anemone colour pick by far, an absolute must grow! Unfortunately I only truly realised how much I loved them well after I'd already had to get my order in for this season's corms, so I really should have ordered more of them as I wasn't expecting my own order to be quite so big - so they're a little limited this season :(

A small percentage do end up being straight red.
