Anemone coronaria

I am growing what I think is Anemone coronaria.  What can you tell me about it.

This tough beauty is one of the poppy flowered anemone.  Usually rated hardy only in zones 7 to 10, a few bulb producers find it surviving in slightly colder locations.  These anemones prefer light sandy soils, full sun and drier conditions when dormant.  Gardeners in colder climates will need to dig the tubers and store them indoors in a cool dark location for the winter.
