Anemone coronaria 'Lord Lieutenant' Bulb

Anemone coronaria 'Lord Lieutenant' is a tuberous perennial prized for its large, velvety deep purple flowers with a central black disc that gradually open to a flat, saucer-like shape. Each bloom measures around 6 - 7 cm across, standing out vividly against finely divided, fern-like green foliage. Flowering from March to May, this cultivar adds rich, dramatic colour to spring borders, rockeries, and containers. 'Lord Lieutenant' thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and prefers full sun to partial shade, ideally in a sheltered spot to protect the delicate flowers from harsh weather. Hardy and easy to cultivate, it attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies, supporting biodiversity. It naturalises well when left undisturbed and can be lifted and stored in colder climates. Its strong, reliable flowering and striking colour make it a favourite choice for gardeners seeking bold spring displays.
