Sharing the autumn anemone - purpose, time and tactics
Autumn anemones - these long-lived perennials inspire with their filigree growth over which the delicate flower bowls rise in September. If you like the autumn anemone, you can easily duplicate it by division.
Meaning and purpose of the whole
Not only to multiply this perennial is the division practical. There are other reasons why sharing makes sense. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
When should you share the autumn anemone?
It is best if you share the autumn anemone in the spring before the shoot (between February and March). If you have missed this period, it is also possible to share the autumn anemone until August. It is important that she is outside her heyday.
Alternatively, the autumn anemone can be shared in late autumn. But this is less recommended. Who shares them in November, must assume that the freshly planted parts are sensitive to frost. They should therefore be protected with brushwood or compost against heavy frost.
Dig up and divide
It is advisable to cut them down to 10 cm above the ground before the plant is split. So you can handle it better. Take a pair of sharp secateurs, gather the old shoots and cut the bundle once!
Now pick up a digger fork or a spade and do the following:
Plant in a suitable location
The cuts should be planted in a sunny to partially shaded spot. Dig a planting hole for each section and loosen the soil well in it! It is important that the soil is permeable, nutrient-rich and humus to loamy. After planting, just water well!
Tips
Especially in the spring and in the newly divided state (weakened) autumn anemones are prone to snail! Protect the young plants like worm fences or the like.
