Do they overwinter well in your location? A friend of mine was gifted a bag of anemone bulbs like 10 years ago and gradually they disappeared and just a few of the very plain pure white ones remained.

Good question! We are in zone 7b and the anemone I planted (anemone coronaria) are adapted to zone 7-9 so this is an ideal climate for them.
In areas that are colder, you can dig up the corms and save them to plant out again in spring.
How well your anemone naturalizes will depend on the variety and where they are planted. The herbaceous perennial ones (anemone japonica) are the best bet for establishing in gardens, but these flower in fall rather than spring.

Thanks mate! I wouldn't subscribe to flowers that need pampering, so an autumn anemone sounds good :)
