Lavente 'Rosa Chairo' Italian Anemone
Lavente Rosa Chairo Anemone
Color: Soft pink with a warm rosy center — a subtle, vintage-inspired hue
Flower form: Single, bowl-shaped blooms with a dark central eye (often deep purple to black)
Bloom season: Spring (early to mid spring when planted as fall-blooming bulbs/corms)
Height: 10–14 inches (25–35 cm)
Habit: Compact clump-forming; ideal for borders, containers, and cut flowers
Planting & Growing
Planting time: Autumn (in zones where winter is cold) or whenever soil temperatures have cooled
Depth & spacing: Plant corms 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) deep, spaced 2–4 inches (5–10 cm) apart
Light: Full sun to light afternoon shade; slightly cooler sites extend bloom color intensity
Soil: Well-draining, moderately fertile soil with good organic matter; anemones dislike waterlogged conditions
Water: Moderate — keep soil evenly moist while shoots emerge; reduce watering once foliage dies back
Temperature: Prefers cool conditions for best flowering; tolerant of light frost when established
Winter care: In milder climates, protect corms with a layer of mulch; in very cold or wet winters, lift and store corms dry if desired
Care & Maintenance
Fertilizer: Light application of balanced slow-release fertilizer at planting and again at early shoot stage
Deadheading: Remove spent blooms to encourage more flowering and a tidier appearance
Division: Every few years, lift and divide crowded clumps after foliage dies back to maintain vigor
Pests & diseases: Relatively trouble-free; watch for slugs, snails, and root rot in poorly drained soils
Uses
Borders: Works well in front-of-border displays and cottage garden schemes
Containers: Excellent for pots and troughs; pair with early spring bulbs or low evergreen foliage
Cut flowers: Long vase life when harvested with a short stem and kept in cool water; great for bouquets and arrangements
Italian Anemones produce grand, resilient blossoms that look stunning when displayed in garden beds, borders, and pots. Additionally, they serve as excellent cut flowers for creating vibrant summer bouquets.
