How to Grow Plant Anemone coronaria 'Meron Bordeaux' in moist, fertile and well-drained soil in full sun or dappled shade. Before planting, improve the soil with well-rotted manure or garden compost. Avoid areas where water collects, particularly during winter. Water regularly during the growing season, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Once established, the plants can tolerate moderate periods of dry weather. Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring to encourage healthy growth and flowering. Deadhead faded flowers regularly to encourage further blooms. After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally before cutting it down to ground level.
