ANEMONES Top Size


An enchanting group of plants, the name derived from the Greek ‘anemos’ meaning ‘wind'’ for windflower. Others claim the name hails from the Syrian word “Nama’an” which is a cry of lament for Adonis whose blood, the legend goes, fell to earth and became scarlet anemones. All have divided and lobed leaves and sprite, many-petaled flowers. As a group, anemones aren’t too particular about soil type. Some prefer light shade for part of the day.


Anemone blanda “Grecian Windflower” Compact and early spring blooming, this daisy- like flower grows well on grassy banks and under thinly planted trees. Use: border, natural, rckgdn.
