About Anemones
This beautiful, dainty plant is commonly called Windflower for the way her flowers tend to bob and dance in the breeze
Anemones come in a wide variety of sizes and bloom in a wide range of colors with contrasting centers (some varieties in spring; others in fall).
Anemone’s blooms hover on thin stems over her neatly-mounded leaves, giving her the delicate air of a well-dressed aristocrat.?
Anemone prefers partial shade and well-drained soil, but isn’t overly picky and is quite easy to grow.
She spreads easily and some varieties can be quite invasive, so choose your plant’s home wisely and she’ll reward you with a happily-dancing carpet of gorgeous blooms.
