Fertilising a Anemone hupehensis 'Prinz Heinrich'
For robust growth and an impressive floral display, Anemone hupehensis 'Prinz Heinrich' benefits from a thoughtful fertilization regimen. Applying a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring can fortify the plant as it prepares for the growing season. Complement this initial feed with a top-dressing of well-rotted organic compost, which will not only provide essential nutrients but also improve soil structure for better root development.
As this species tends to bloom later in the year, a second application of fertilizer during the summer can ensure it has the requisite energy for producing its vibrant pink blossoms in the autumn months. Avoid over-fertilization to prevent excessive foliage at the expense of flower production, and always water thoroughly after applying fertilizer to help distribute nutrients and prevent root burn.
