Caring for Anemones
For purchasing, select when the buds are 25- 50% open. There should be a one inch space between the flower head and the collar of the foliage.
For conditioning, you will need to pay close attention to the water level as anemones are heavy drinkers. Remove all foliage below the water line, cut under water with a sharp knife or scissors and condition in a water with floral food for a couple of hours or overnight before storage or usage. Recommended to wrap the flower stems with paper (not cellophane) to hold them straight during conditioning.
It is preferable to use them in a vase arrangement. Best if used in a vase arrangement as opposed to worked into floral foam.
