Troubleshooting
Anemone coronaria 'Hollandia' problems — and how to fix them
Anemone coronaria 'Hollandia' (Anemone coronaria 'Hollandia') is generally forgiving once you match its basics, but a few issues come up again and again. Here is what each one looks like, why it happens, and the fix.
Corm rot in wet soil
Heavy, waterlogged ground rots the tubers before they sprout. Plant in sharply drained soil or raised beds and avoid overwatering dormant corms.
Poor sprouting from dry corms
Hard, shrivelled corms emerge slowly. Soak them 3-4 hours (not longer) in water before planting to rehydrate and speed sprouting.
Powdery mildew and botrytis
Crowded, damp foliage develops grey mould or white mildew. Space plants, water at the base, and ensure good airflow.
Foliage flops and flowering fades early
Too much shade gives weak, leggy stems and few flowers. Move to a sunnier spot; this is a full-sun plant.
