About this variety

'Mistral Edge' is a variety from the Mistral Plus series, a line of poppy anemones in special colours. The flowers combine clear white and fresh pink, giving them a light, friendly look. On their tall stems they dance above the finely cut foliage.

With a height of about 50–70 cm, 'Mistral Edge' fits well into the middle row of beds and borders. It tolerates sun and partial shade and needs moist, free-draining soil. Good partners are dark purple tulips, forget-me-nots or Lenten roses. In a large container with white violas it makes a bright, romantic focal point.

In a bouquet this variety adds lightness, especially with ranunculus, sweet peas or fresh greenery. Cut the stems when the buds show colour. Bees like to visit the open flowers. Because the plant keeps producing new flowers from March to May, regular cutting is worthwhile. A simple glass with a few stems is enough to bring spring indoors. On the table it looks fresh and bright.

Planting

Soak the tubers in water for 3–4 hours. Plant them in spring, from March to May, about 5 cm deep with a spacing of 8–10 cm. A sunny to partially shaded spot with loose soil and no waterlogging is ideal.

Care

Keep the soil moist while the plants are flowering. Give a little flower fertiliser once flowering begins. Remove faded flowers consistently. Once the foliage has died back, protect the tubers over winter with a layer of leaves or brushwood.
