Anemone
Wind Flower
“The floure never openth it selfe, but when the wynde bloweth,” wrote William Turner, in A New Herbal (1560). In our garden, however, we enjoy the buttercup-shaped flowers in any weather, windy or not. Tasteful and deceptively delicate looking, Anemone is also tough and undemanding. Most will multiply readily in rich sandy loam, and are perfect for naturalizing in a woodland setting.
Anemone nemorosa ‘Robinsoniana’ (P-0178)
Each 11.50
Beloved since debuting in William Robinson’s 1883 book, “The English Flower Garden”, this charming spring treasure champions large creamy grayish-blue buds and chalice-shaped lavender-blue flowers garnished with broad rings of golden stamens atop short upright stalks. Linear, deeply toothed segments sculpt the handsome dark green foliage, which leaps from fibrous mat-forming rhizomes and later goes summer dormant. Bestowed a well-earned AGM, ‘Robinsoniana’ is tailor-made for broad sweeps either as an easy-care woodland filler or a pest-free ground cover beneath shrubs like Spirea or Pieris. Dappled light to deep shade plus fertile, well-drained and slightly acidic soil help it fend off deer, bunnies and dry summer conditions.
