The Anemone Plant is a dainty woodland perennial, commonly known as the Wood Anemone. Present as far west as Minnesota, they are native to eastern North America and are a quintessential springtime familiar for hikers and gardeners alike.
Flowering of this dainty perennial is prolific. They are early bloomers and produce copious blooms of starburst-like flowers that reach about 1 in in diameter. These flowers are typically white but can also be soft pink or vibrant red in color. Since the petals are actually sepals, the inflorescence of this plant persists long after the flower has bloomed.

This plant has a simple elegance to its appearance. Only reaching 10 in in height, they emerge with whorled foliage, producing three or more graceful, feather-like leaves per node along the stem. They are commonly called ‘wind flowers’ as they gently jostle in the winds that pass-through woodlands.
The Anemone Plant is rhizomatous and spreads through this shallow root systems. As it is a woodland native, it prefers shady areas and makes a charming addition to a woodland edge, north facing perennial bed or to a stream or pond bank. After the flush of flowering in the spring, the plant becomes dormant as temperatures rise toward the summer time, making way for other garden favorites to grow and bloom.

How to Grow and Care for Bare Root Perennials, Tubers, and Bulbs
Bare root perennials, tubers, and bulbs are an easy and economical way to jumpstart your garden with lasting beauty. These dormant plants should be planted in early spring or fall while the soil is cool and workable. Before planting, soak bare roots in water for 1–2 hours to rehydrate them. Choose a location based on the plant’s light needs—most flowering types prefer full sun, while others thrive in partial shade.
For bare root perennials, dig a shallow hole and spread the roots out naturally, ensuring the crown is level with the soil surface. For tubers and bulbs, plant with the pointed side facing up at a depth about two to three times their height. Cover with soil, gently press down, and water thoroughly.
Keep soil consistently moist (not soggy) until new growth appears. Add mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds, but avoid covering the crown or bulb tops. Once established, these plants require little maintenance—just seasonal watering, occasional dividing, and deadheading or pruning as needed. With proper care, they’ll return and thrive year after year.
