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.
Granted the prestigious plant of the year award at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2011, this wildly popular Anemone gives you good reason to swoon. Superb in bouquets, a long-lasting plethora of large snowy blooms with lavender-blue flip sides presents peerless panache atop slender stems and low growing, deeply divided dark green foliage. ‘Wild Swan’s well-mannered, noninvasive habit can be massed in a woodland garden or tucked amid rock work where its flowers close at dusk, resembling nodding bells.
