Description

Anemone 'Lord Lieutenant' brings a burst of colour to your spring garden, with double blue-purple flowers held above finely cut green foliage.

Each bloom carries a dark central button, giving the flowers real definition and a smart, almost formal look. Plant them in groups through sunny borders, beds or containers and they create a striking wash of colour that feels fresh, elegant and full of life.

The long stems make this variety a brilliant choice for cutting too. Enjoy the flowers outdoors, then bring a few stems inside for a graceful vase display. Bees and butterflies are drawn to the blooms.

Fully hardy and easy to grow, 'Lord Lieutenant' thrives in a sunny, sheltered spot and gives impressive impact from a generous planting. For best results, plant the bulbs while fresh and let them create a spring display with proper presence.

Supplied as a pack of 50 bulbs, size 4/5, ready to plant.

Top Tips

If you want to store your bulbs over winter, then lift them before the first frost. Bulbs generally prefer to be stored dry.
Remove loose soil, carefully pull or cut off dead and dying leaves and leave to dry overnight. Dusting with fungicide will help keep the bulbs healthy.

Care Information

Your bulbs will enjoy a warm, sunny position, in fertile, free-draining soil. Heavy, clay soil can be improved by digging in 1-2 buckets of coarse sand per square metre.

To plant, dig individual holes for each bulb or a trench if you're planting in groups. Place bulbs in the holes without pushing down hard. Make sure the growing point is pointing upwards, then cover with soil.

Use the bulb as a guide and plant it two or three times its depth. Space them approximately two to three bulb widths apart.

Many bulbs are ideal for growing in patio containers, especially the more tender species, which can then be stored over winter.

Store the bulbs in dry paper bags or trays of almost dry sand in a frost-free place.

Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
