This former Anemone is one we first became acquainted with in John Massey's impeccable garden at Ashwood Nursery. We didn't know what it was but it grabbed our attention which is saying something in that candy store of a garden. A small plant that would be well-suited for a moist rock garden setting, it has simple, soft yellow flowers and distinctive green leaves.
A necessary part of the woodland garden are the small European Anemones and this is one of the good ones. Fine foliage and nice white flowers in spring on a slowly spreading rhizomatous little bulbous plant. As you may have surmised, this is at home in the Apennines in Italy and into Croatia.
A lovely form we brought home from Scotland a few years back. This varies from the norm of mid-blue flowers by embracing the blending nature of Impressionist pastels with its goes-with-anything non-confrontational light lavender-blue flowers in April and May. Not surprisingly, this form is a Libra.
Soft pale blue flowers on this clone which we brought in from the UK a few years ago. This species seems a necessary part of the spring woodland garden and the twiggy rhizomes will in time form a dense floriferous carpet with flowers backed by deeply segmented green leaves.
Choice selection of the Wood Anemone with flowers densely packed with numerous small white petals which appear all white at first but as the flowers mature or awaken, a central blue eye is revealed which is quite delightful. I go through a similar slow process every morning and tell myself that it is the same delightful end result.
Named for British plantsman E.A. Bowles, this variety of wood anemone sports attractive lavender to purple flowers. For the true purple lovers, the foliage is an added bonus emerging with a purple tinge or margin that nicely delineates the prettily dissected leaves and provides a purple haze that would make Jimi proud.
Wood Anemone. This selection has funny heads of flowers where the petals have become dense clusters of dissected white leafy bracts or did the bracts become dense bunches of filigreed snowflake petals? Either way, quite a piece of floral artwork that garners ample attention. Great for shade.
This is a good white flowered selection of this little creeping European species. Ours came from the UK via our friends at the former Hedgerows Nursery whose plant offerings set a very high bar for the rest of us. This was last listed in the UK in 2008, we believe, and may have been deemed insufficiently distinct from other good white selections to carry its own name. A fine plant nonetheless, and it reminds us of our friends, David and Susie.
Soft blue flowers on this Wood Anemone play nicely with the lightly bronzed emerging new leaves. Our plant came from David Mason and Susie Grimm at Hedgerows Nursery who picked this up in the UK. We always like tracing the lineage of acquisition as it helps fill in those empty hours you have so many of when you have a nursery...
This variety of the charming European wood anemone graciously comes with slightly larger flowers reducing the need to reach for those reading glasses or get down on aching knees to appreciate their idyllic fairytale beauty. Or for those of a younger generation, your instagram photo will be in focus without the help of that $10 bootleg iphone macro lens - $10 more to put towards more anemones perhaps...
A fine little European woodlander which can tolerate some sun as well. Spreading by twiggy rhizomes, this will make a good patch in time when happy, The semi-double white flowers adds extra petals to the mix, giving lie to the "less is more" maxim because don't we all know in our publicly inaccessible heart of hearts that "more is more"? Hilda, you work it, girl!
An irregularly variegated form of wood anemone. Be not afraid of some green leaves, as is true of our great heaving masses, not all can be special. While not every leaf is variegated those that are, are quite fetching with pure white sections often near the leaf edge providing an eyecatching contrast and complement to the standard white flowers. A shade perennial classic with an added surprise, what's not to like!
This excellent clone of the Wood Anemone has larger than usual white flowers held nicely above the foliage with better than usual substance and poise. Hard to describe precisely but like some things that are elusive in definition, you know it when you see it.
Wood Anemone. This is a good blue form with flowers darker than many of the blue selections and even though the individual flowers are a little smaller than typical, we don't care as this is such a lovely thing. Found in the Estonian woodlands by Mart Veerus and introduced we think by Janis Ruksans.
This uncommon wood anemone clone offers pale pink flowers to bring light to the dark of the shade garden. One of our Scottish acquisitions of which we have a scant few to share. Will live up to its name in time.
Large lavender blue flowers with a darker reverse grants this little slowly creeping Wood Anemone its own small fiefdom in the shade garden while it is in bloom. Very pretty indeed. Of course by mid summer the peasants and serfs rise up with scythes and cudgels to reclaim their land but next year the glorious cycle of rule and revolution is repeated.
This is an exquisite little bit of spring pleasure that was introduced by our friend Urs Baltensberger. Urs is a keen plantsman and he found this dark-leafed form growing wild in the forest on the slopes of Stammerberg in Switzerland and we are all benefiting from his sharp eye. Purplish black new growth is perfect backing for the white spring flowers in mid to late spring. The leaves will mature to typical green later in the season but that is of no consequence as the flowers will have long finished.
A nice small flowered light pink form of this necessary Anemone species which followed us home from the UK a few years back. What is a necessary Anemone, you ask? One which is indispensable in your shade or woodland garden and whose absence would not only be noted but commented upon and repeated, a gardening gaffe going viral.
Have trouble picking between the albas and roseas of the woodland shade perennial world? Never fear 'Tomas' is here! This selection of wood anemone opens pure white and fades to pink as the season progresses. Plan your spring break wisely and you can pretend you got two plants for the price of one!
This little European Woods Anemone is aptly named as an established patch of this in full flower is indeed purity and chastity personified although I have enough miles on me that experiences with either purity or chastity have been relegated to the dustbin of uncertain memory. The white flowers with a central button of doubleness makes this selection the most oft requested Anemone nemorosa in our shade garden. Carol Klein once described this as "the bell of the ball" when comparing it to other Anemone nemorosa cultivars and we find nothing in that statement to dispute.
