Kabby, I do love Anemone coronaria 'Mr. Fokker' I'm buying more as I lost most of my old ones due to a planting accident of sorts (needed some space to plant new bearded iris rhizomes quickly, so perhaps not really an accident ) and didn't have many to start with from the beginning as they were more of a trial and perhaps in some ways still are. Unfortunately they aren't 100% hardy in my climate so can get killed in hard winters. Safer to plant them in spring here, but the quality of tubers in spring can be a bit disappointing. Hoping for a normal winter and they should be okay.
I think that if I lived in a climate better suited for them I'd like a whole field of them


Sounds like you had a lovely Anemone combination there and have more good plans in the works. Never been a sports fan, but if the plantings can make both you and your dear husband happy, surely it must be a win-win Maybe he will do all the weeding in that area?
