Fertilising a Anemone hybrida 'Königin Charlotte'
To ensure the Anemone hybrida 'Königin Charlotte' thrives with vigorous blooms, a proper fertilization regimen is key. Fertilize this species early in the growing season, as new foliage appears, and again as the first buds are set to form, typically around mid-spring. A balanced, slow-release fertilizer is ideal, as it will provide a steady supply of nutrients throughout the flowering period.
Apply the fertilizer carefully according to the manufacturer's instructions, avoiding direct contact with the leaves and stems to prevent any potential nutrient burn. This species, with its preference for well-drained soils, also benefits from a layer of organic mulch, which can help retain soil moisture and slowly enrich the soil as it decomposes. With these simple steps, the plant will be well-prepared to produce its charming pink blooms from late summer into fall.
