    Root cuttings are usually recommended for this one.

  • Thanks very much . . Looks very simple
  • also they send out runners and you'll see small plants popping up around the parent plant. You can pull these off  - make sure they have some roots - and pot them up. They sulk for a while but will eventually thrive

    i've some bulbs that were labeled anemome just from wilkos last year, lots of colours, they have thrived and blooming lots, will they behave in the same way if separating? Also after they've finished flowering the flower head goes all fluffy like cotton wool... Normal?

  • sounds like anemone de caen - I think they are different in terms of propagating. You might be able to cut up large tubers to create more plants but someone else had better advise on that, it's not something I have done. The fluffy heads are the developing seedheads and if you leave them you might get new plants popping up. Anemones are also known as "windflowers" because the wind blows their seed around.  I grow anemone blanda which is very similar and they form small colonies with seedlings popping up all over the place.
