Mistral Bordeaux, often admired for its deep magenta-purple colouring, is a corm variety especially well suited to cutting garden.

Anemone coronaria 'Mistral Bordeaux' (Mistral Series) brings a deliciously rich, bordeaux-toned flourish to early spring, with poised, single blooms held above fresh mid‑green foliage. Elegant in pots by the front door, quietly confident through the border, and particularly fine for cutting, this is a refined choice for gardeners who favour depth of colour and a well-mannered silhouette.

Plant the corms in autumn for spring interest; in colder pockets, a sheltered position will help this half-hardy anemone perform at its best.

Where to Plant:

Anemone 'Mistral Bordeaux' needs full-sun, partial sun and a warm, sheltered position for the best flowering. Plant into fertile, humus-rich soil that drains well, and choose a spot protected from strong winds, especially for taller varieties.

How to Plant:

Plant corm from September to December once conditions are suitable. Set them at the correct depth for the variety, spacing 10–15cm apart where relevant, then firm in gently and water well after planting.

Aftercare:

Water regularly in dry weather and feed every two to three weeks once buds appear. Stake taller stems early and deadhead to keep plants flowering. After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally before lifting or protecting corm according to local conditions.

The bulbs arrived beautifully packaged and you could just tell they were excellent quality. We had the most wonderful display of daffodils this spring on our patio. Simply stunning. Will definitely be ordering again

I ordered the mixed hyacinth collection and the scent in my garden this April was absolutely heavenly. Every single bulb produced a strong, beautiful flower and the colours were stunning together. A fantastic purchase, I'll be back for more next year!
