Windflower

Anemone blanda

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Ranunculaceae
Plant Description: Windflower is a tuberous plant with daisy-like flowers that vary from white to purples, blues and pinks. Leaves are highly dissected and add to the loveliness of this brief spring bloomer. Great for adding that first pop of color to perennial beds that are otherwise bare in early spring. Prefers light shade and will gently spread over time in ideal conditions.
