Anemone Bulbs - De Caen Hollandia

Anemone coronaria ‘De Caen Hollandia’ is one of the most striking spring-blooming bulbs available — vibrant red poppy-like flowers with a crisp white ring and dramatic deep black eye that defines contrast. Free-flowering and long-blooming all spring; a proven overperformer compared to one-and-done spring bulbs. Growing 8–10 inches tall with glossy, parsley-like green foliage that acts as a low-growing groundcover between flushes of bloom. Excellent fresh cut flower. Attracts butterflies; deer resistant. Hardy in zones 7–10.
