Anemone Coronaria Double 'The Governor'

Windflower

Anemone ‘The Governor’ is a richly colored St. Brigid‑type variety distinguished by its fully double, ruffled blooms in bold, saturated red. The densely layered petals create a full, textured flower form, giving each bloom a strong presence and a classic, almost old‑world charm. Grown from size 8+ corms, plants typically reach 10–14 inches tall and produce substantial 2–3 inch blooms that add vivid color and volume to borders, containers, and cut‑flower designs.

In zones 7–10, ‘The Governor’ 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.
