Botanical Name:
Anemone coronaria L.
The anemone is a rhizomatous herbaceous plant, characterized by green, compound, and finely divided leaves that develop directly from the rhizome. The flowers, solitary and elegant, reach a height of about 50 cm and feature petaloid sepals, numerous stamens and pistils, crowned by a small collar of leaves.
Brea’s research has focused on expanding the color range and improving qualitative traits: straight and sturdy stems, larger flowers, short peduncles (under 2 cm), and marked earliness. The cross between the Caën anemone and Monna Lisa gave rise to the Cristina variety, which achieved great success in the floriculture world for its balance of elegance and productivity. Later, research on single-flowered specimens led to the development of the Carillon® line, recognizable for its double petals and wide color range.
As with ranunculus, anemone rhizomes are also prepared through hydration and cold treatments, which stimulate sprouting and advance flowering, allowing plants to bloom as early as October.
