Anemone Pulsatilla (England, etc.). 
This plant does best in places with a dry 
elevation facing east, in deep sandy loam, but if in a 
low-lying district should be planted full south in 
the same soil. The best time for planting is either 
in early spring, when the leaves are just beginning to 
show, or else directly after flowering, as the plant 
should not be disturbed during its dormant state in 
autumn and winter. If too luxuriant in growth, in 
early spring before the leaves are developed, fill in 
amongst the flower-stems with coarse grit to prevent 
excessive moisture, otherwise the plant often rots 
off at the collar. 
Anemone sulphurea (Pyrenees). 
Unlike Anemone alpina, A. sulphurea requires 
to be planted in a well-drained position in full sun, 
facing due south, in deep sandy loam, and does not 
make off-sets like it, but grows from a crown, which 
should be very carefully protected, from any chance 
of being hoed off during its dormant season, by a few 
sticks marking the place where it is. In autumn 
after the foliage has fallen, top-dress with equal parts 
of loam and leaf-mould, taking care to cover the 
crown out of sight. 
Anemone vernalis (Europe). 
This species should be planted, facing south, in 
deep sandy loam. After flowering, it should be 
promptly top-dressed, to make provision for the 
surface roots which it will then emit, or it will grow 
out of the ground and eventually perish.
