Fertilising a Anemone hybrida 'Serenade'
For optimal growth and bloom, Anemone hybrida 'Serenade' benefits from regular fertilization. Commence feeding in early spring as the plant breaks dormancy, and then again in mid-summer to support its vigorous growth and prolific flowering period, which graces gardens from August to October. An all-purpose, slow-release fertilizer is ideal, ensuring a steady supply of nutrients throughout the growing season. Apply according to the manufacturer's instructions, taking care not to over-fertilize, as this can lead to excessive foliage at the expense of flowers. Ensuring the soil remains well-drained and fertile will promote the upright, bushy growth habit of this cultivar, culminating in its characteristic height of 80 cm and a delightful display of pink and purple blooms in the summer and autumn months.
