Lavente 'Rosa Chairo' Italian Anemone

from $25.00

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.
