Anemone Flower Details
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.

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.
