I had no luck with them either...what's the secret of having success with anemones?

Maybe you're planting them
Maybe you're planting them too deep? Mine don't seem to need any special care. And it doesn't even matter which way you plant the bulb....all sides are "up". I'm not sure how deep you're supposed to plant them, but I plant mine about 2 inches or so down. Just scrape up a small depression and cover them. They need full-part sun (the Japanese ones take shade, but I'm talking about the ones that grow from bulbs or corms or whatever you call it). They don't seem to have any special water or fertilizer requirements, although a bit of bonemeal at planting time is generally good for all bulbs. Here in the South, they're best planted in the Fall, and they'll bloom in the Spring (like right now...mine are fixing to bloom), but I think up North they are planted in spring and bloom in fall.
Other than that, I can't think of any reason why they wouldn't grow for everyone. Unless you have critters eating the bulbs.

Anemone bulbs
Hi, I just thought ya'll might be intersted in a website called BulbsDirect. I got 200 anemone bulbs for $12 and free shipping. I thought it was a good deal and they have a lot of different types on there.

Peggy, my anemones are just
Peggy, my anemones are just starting to bloom now. I've got 2 or 3 buds so far, and I'm sure the rest are not far behind. They'll finish blooming and die back once it starts to get hot this summer, so I may be able to share a few bulbs then. Just remind me, because I'm sure I'll forget. Although you would probably be better off buying a pack of bulbs if you can find them locally. My Lowes sells them in the fall for about $3.00 for 15 bulbs. so unless I send you some as part of a larger trade, it'd probably be cheaper just to buy them.
I'm trying to start some Japanese Anemone seeds that DorothyD sent me, but I haven't had any luck with them yet. I'm still keeping them moist, but it's been about 1 month. I think it's about time to try round 2 and see if I can get sprouts this time.

I am not sure about the
I am not sure about the other anemone, but the japanese anemone does produce seed. I have been reading up on this and what I have found is the easiest way to propagate is by rooted cuttings. Kym...where did you get your anemone....I haven't seen it available in too many places. LOL!

The Japanese anemone & the
The Japanese anemone & the other kind of anemone are different plants. The regular anemone is grown by bulb. In the South it's planted in fall, blooms in spring, and goes dormant in the heat of the summer. In the North, it's planted in spring & blooms in fall. I don't know if it produces seed, but like I said before, I've never seen any on mine. The bulbs do multiply nicely, though. These anemones like sun, whereas the Japanese anemones like shade. (And I'm not sure if the Japanese anemones do well in hotter climates....I think I read somewhere that they don't like hot summers, but I'll try them here in zone 9 one day!)

Japanese Anemones
I always have poor results with the tuberous types, even ones hardy in zone 6b. So I grow Japanese Anemones instead.
To correct a few misunderstandings about J.A.s is that they can grow in full sun if the soil is mulched to help kept it damp during the hottest months. Extra waterings will be needed if the foliagew starts to look limp. The ideal situation for them is morning sun and afternoon shade, to full bright shade! Since they develop rhizomes they can become somewhat invasive. They form a loose clump, and are easily controlled by losening the soil and pull upwards any sprouts that invade areas you do not want them to spread into. Each sprout is easily moved to where you want them, as they have a full set of roots, or pot up to give away to friends and neighbors. Their spreading out slowly so you have time keep an eye on them. They are best grown in situations where they can have lots of room to roam and left to naturalize an area. Soils that retain moisture and are high in organic matter is best, but they will tolerate a wide range of soil types and conditions. To extend the blooming deadheading regularly will encourage more flower buds to develop on the same stalks. Mine rarely produce seeds since I do deadhead them before seeds can develop!
Bloom time is from mid August until late October. Height: anywhere from 24" to 36" tall and about the same in spread!

Micki, that Japanese anemone
Micki, that Japanese anemone is gorgeous! Does that one grow in more shade than the other kind? I think I remember reading that those are good shade plants. I planted lots of anemones last fall and had beautiful blooms all spring. I dug up most of the bulbs so they wouldn't rot, but I guess I missed a few and they survived! They're sending out new leaves now! I'd post pics of mine, but I haven't figured out how yet. And I think Al may be working on the photo section right now. Later.

One thing to try is - soak
One thing to try is - soak that little hard knot in warm water for 4-12 hours - then plant.

I actually collected some seed from one of the blue ones - had others blooming the same time it did, so they might have crossed. Would assume they did. I haven't tried to germinate any, but Kym you're welcome to a packet of them if you want to try them - just have to be sure & let me know how they do for you! :O
Nope! Don't have any
Nope! Don't have any growing! I don't know whether they are suited to this climate! This is such a crazy climate! Last night, it got down to 46 degrees, but it had been over 90 during the day! My mom has some Japanese anemones that I adore! They are pretty tall and very delicate, though!
