Anemone bulbs

Hi, I bought some Anemone bulbs yesterday and have no idea which way to plant them as they don't have a pointy end or does it not matter ?

    Not at all - just fire them in the ground any which way. Only the plants with bigger corms like cyclamen or begonia have a 'right way up' side.

    I soaked mine overnight and they were nicely plumped up before planting. I planted mine with the knobbly bits (clawlike) pointing upwards, if that's any help. I'm sure which ever way you plant them they'll be ok.

    Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.
