Water anemone Anemopsis californica red-white – Marsh plant waterside plant

Large, white bracts with red accents. The water anemone (Anemopsis californica) looks fantastic anywhere. Inside the bracts is a calyx made up of sepals, or small flowers. They are the same colour as the bracts. The aquatic plant is a waterside and marsh plant. We can plant the plant along the edge (bank) of our pond. Or we can plant the anemone up to 40 cm deep in the pond. We can plant this perennial all year round, The flowers bloom in the spring and summer.
We prune the plant slightly to shape it with a pruning shear. We remove old leaves and dirt. To encourage good growth, we add minerals to the pond water and ensure that the water’s hardness level (pH value and calcium to magnesium ratio) is maintained. Plant the water anemone in a sunny spot.
