Anemone coronaria 'Governor' Bulb

Anemone coronaria 'Governor' is a tuberous-rooted perennial prized for its large, vivid scarlet-red flowers featuring a striking black central disc. Each bloom measures approximately 6 - 7 cm across and is held above finely divided, fern-like green foliage. Flowering from March to August, 'Governor' offers an extended bloom period that adds vibrant colour to borders, containers, and cutting gardens throughout spring and summer. This cultivar thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and prefers partial shade, especially in hotter climates, to protect the flowers and encourage prolonged flowering. Hardy and low-maintenance, it attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies, enhancing garden biodiversity. ‘Governor’ naturalises well when left undisturbed and can be lifted and stored during dormancy in colder areas. Its reliable flowering and vivid colour make it a favourite for showy spring and summer displays.
