Anemone (Wind Flower)
at Digging Dog
Including Anemone x hybrida, & Anemone palmata
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. Elegant and deceptively delicate, Anemone is also tough and undemanding. Most will multiply readily in rich, sandy loam, and are perfect for naturalizing in a woodland setting. Anemone palmata 
Yellow Anemone
Brilliant citrine-yellow petals swirl around golden stamens, their sunny coloration rare for an Anemone. Often tinged red on the outside, the good-sized, saucer-shaped flowers are presented on slender, leafless 6 in. stems above a handsome basal mat of glossy deep green foliage. A southwest European native, this spreading Anemone prefers a sunny, well drained bank where its cheerful blooms can be paired with blue flowering Nepeta reichenbachiana.
Blooms May–June. Size: 6" high x 10" wide; hardy to zone 8. Anemone palmata (P-1175)
Each $7.00

Anemone x hybrida ‘Alice’
Unlike many Anemones, ‘Alice’ spreads slowly, growing into a clump 3 ft. across within three years. It is robust and upright with large leaves that outsize the foliage of most hybrida forms. In our garden, the semidouble soft pink flowers appear to float against a hedge of Carpinus
and contrast well with the golden fall foliage
of Amsonia hubrichtii.
Blooms late August–October. Size: 5'–6' high x 3' wide; hardy to zone 4.
Anemone x hybrida Alice (p-0503)
Each $7.00

Anemone x hybrida ‘Andrea Atkinson’
These beauties sway on tall but sturdy stems
above lush deep green Maple-shaped leaves. Downy
green buds open into semidouble white flowers with
chartreuse eyes. In winter, seed heads turn a rich
chocolate brown, making ‘Andrea Atkinson’ an entertaining addition in drifts or borders. For vivacious color, try it with Aster cordifolius or blue flowering Geraniums.
Blooms August–late October. Size: 4-1/2'–5' high x 3' wide; hardy to zone 5. AVAILABLE APRIL 2008 Anemone x hybrida Andrea Atkinson (p-0911)
