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 Double 'The Admiral'

Windflower

Anemone ‘The Admiral’ is a distinguished St. Brigid‑type variety noted for its fully double, richly layered blooms in deep, velvety blue. The ruffled petals create a full, textured, almost pom‑pom form, giving each flower a bold presence and a regal, saturated color that stands out beautifully in garden plantings and cut‑flower designs. Grown from size 8+ corms, plants typically reach 10–14 inches tall and produce substantial 2–3 inch blooms with excellent volume and structure.

In zones 7–10, ‘The Admiral’ 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 lush, reliable display.
