Mount Everest

Anemone ‘Mount Everest’ produces masses of pure white, slightly ruffled, multi-petalled blooms, finished with a striking centre of lime-green stamens. Fresh, bright, and seriously impressive, it’s perfect for lighting up winter and spring gardens, and it’s also a top pick for cut flowers.

‘Mount Everest’ is a St Brigid anemone (also known as a double anemone), with extra petals for a fuller, more luxurious flower.

Anemones are great value and very easy to grow. For the longest season of blooms, stagger your planting and enjoy months of colour with minimal effort. For best results, chill the rhizomes for 5 to 6 weeks before planting (we’ve already done this for you), then soak in fresh water for 10 to 12 hours before planting. They prefer cooler conditions, with soil temperatures around 12 to 15°C, so avoid planting in high temperatures.

Expect 6 to 8 cm flowers from early winter to late spring, ideal for borders, pots, and picking.
