The wild wood anemone, with its delicate pink tinged, white petals is a magical sight in spring.  Anemone ‘Nemerosa’ forms a splendid early spring carpet, under trees and shrubs and in the dappled sunlight of woodland areas and is the recipient of a prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the RHS.

Plant the rhizomes on their longest side, just beneath the surface of your soil, which should ideally be naturally rich in leafmould and sited in cool shade.  Left undisturbed, Anemone ‘Nemerosa’ will happily naturalise and flower year after year.

Sometimes known as windflowers, these dainty beauties are part of the buttercup family and are native to Europe.
