Comments: Anemone hybrida x is long-lived and fairly trouble free when given good growing conditions. It likes a well-drained soil with good amounts of organic matter. Most Windflowers will do well with full sun in the morning and dappled light in the afternoon. Some shade is more desirable in warmer climates. Mulching to maintain a cool root zone is beneficial. In winter, plants of Anemone hybrida x die back to deep, woody fibrous roots. Anemones need a winter mulch and thorough watering in dry weather. The seed heads are ornamental and may be dried.

Propagation: Propagation of Anemone hybrida x is by seed, division and root cuttings. Division is done in early spring but only when necessary as the plant should not be disturbed once established. Plant seed indoors in the spring. Keep the temperature between 70 and 75 deg F (21-24 deg C). Germination takes place in three to four weeks. Seed may also be sown outside in the fall for spring germination.
