Anemone Plant for Sale
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.Â

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 flower' as they gently jostle in the winds that pass throughnorth-facing woodlands.
The Anemone Plant is rhizomatous and spreads through its 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 summertime, making way for other garden favorites to grow and bloom.
Landscape Uses and Maintenance for the Anemone Plant
Anemone Plant is low-maintenance and naturalizes well once transplanted. It prefers humus-rich, moist, and well-drained soils that are slightly acidic. Due to their rhizomatous root structure, they are easily propagated by division.
They are pest and disease-free as well as deer-resistant. Plant in a naturalized woodland garden or as a part of a quaint cottage garden - they make a charming, early spring groundcover accompaniment.

How To Grow
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.
