The Bride

Anemone ‘The Bride’ is a favourite for weddings and events, and it’s easily one of our most popular anemones. It produces masses of single, pure white, poppy-like flowers with a fresh green button centre, perfect for bright winter and spring garden displays and elegant white bouquets. Plant in generous groups for the best impact, and enjoy it as a premium cut flower.

‘The Bride’ is a De Caen (Poppy Anemone) type, classed as a Single flower, meaning it has one row of petals (unlike the double St Brigid types).

Anemones are great value and very easy to grow. For the longest flowering season, stagger your planting and enjoy months of blooms. 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 cutting.
