Anemone nemorosa ‘Vestal’ at Digging Dog
Wood 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 nemorosa ‘Vestal’
Adored by all who behold it, this charming European
woodland plant boasts the choicest double Wood
Anemone flowers in cultivation. Six ray petals, pure as
the driven snow, encompass a fluffy white central tuft
of distinctively gathered petaloid stamens. The elegant,
long lasting 1 in. blooms repose upon low ferny mats
of ephemeral spring leaves that show off a purplish
sheen when young and disappear come summer.
Blooms late March – early May. Size: 4" high x 12" wide; hardy to zone 4. Anemone nemorosa ‘Vestal’ (P-1607) SOLD OUT!
