Mount Everest

The optimal time to plant Anemone Mount Everest bulbs is during the fall or early spring. Fall planting is ideal in milder climates, as it allows the bulbs to establish their root systems and prepares them for a vibrant display of blooms in the following spring.

In colder climates, it's better to plant the bulbs in late spring once the ground has thawed and the threat of frost has passed. Anemones are hardy in hardiness zones 5-9, but not in colder climates.

So actually it is a personal preference, because you can plant Anemones a few times in the year and they will bloom within a few months after planting.

Anemone Mount Everest, also known as windflowers, are considered perennial plants, meaning they have the potential to come back every year. However, their level of hardiness varies depending on the climate.

In milder climates, such as USDA hardiness zones 5 and up, Anemone Mount Everest can reliably return each year without needing to be lifted and stored during the winter months.

In colder climates, where the ground freezes, these bulbs may not survive the winter, and it is recommended to lift and store them in a cool, dry place to replant in the following spring. Providing proper care, such as adequate watering and fertilization, will also encourage healthy growth and return.

Anemone Mount Everest bulbs are considered moderately deer resistant. While no plant is entirely immune to deer browsing, Anemone species tend to be less attractive to deer compared to other plants.

This is due to their slightly bitter taste and the presence of mild toxins, which deter deer from consuming them. However, if deer pressure is high in your area, consider additional protective measures like fencing or repellents to safeguard your bulbs.
