Anemone nemorosa 'Leed's Variety'

This has been a star in our shade garden with it's extra large flowers which most regard as the largest of the Anemone nemorosa cultivars. We have this planted at the base of Disporum longistylum 'Night Heron' whose dark stems and foliage contrast nicely. "Contrast nicely"? We damn with faint praise - this totally rules as it is the perfect underplanting and this will translate to many other plants as well as the Anemone is but 10" high or less and creeps on twiggy rhizomes to make a fine, dense patch. We have always forgotten to divide this and have never had it when folks have asked for after seeing it in the garden but we have potted some up this winter. If you get these early spring of 2014, the little rhizomes won't have rooted out but no worries - they will take off in your garden!
