We love the selection of bulbs available from A.D.R. The variety is great, the quality is excellent and the price is fair. However, the best part of working with A.D.R is the customer service from Chris, Walter and all of the team. They go out of their way to make sure ours needs are met.

Anemone Coronaria Single 'Sylphide'

Windflower

Anemone ‘Sylphide’ is a vibrant De Caen favorite, celebrated for its glowing magenta‑rose blooms that read almost fuchsia in bright spring light. The single‑petaled flowers surround a dark central eye, giving the variety a crisp, dramatic contrast and a color intensity that stands out instantly in the garden or vase. Grown from size 8+ corms, plants typically reach 10–12 inches tall and produce refined 2–3 inch blooms ideal for beds, borders, and high‑impact cut‑flower production.

In zones 7–10, ‘Sylphide’ can be planted in fall for late‑winter to early‑spring flowering. In cooler climates, it performs best when started indoors or planted in spring for summer blooms. It thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well‑drained, humus‑rich soil. Pre‑soaking the corms before planting encourages strong root development and ensures a vivid, reliable display.
