Mostly woodlanders with pretty spring flowers before the trees leaf up. They associate well with other spring flowers such as Epimediums and Corydalis flexuosa but are also yseful where later plants come up as the Anemones often die down in midsummer, especially if dry.
Less common than Anemone nemorosa this is another woodland species producing many petalled white flowers in spring over a patch of fine cut rich green leaves. 15cm. Good soil in shade.
Forming a loose clump this species has fingered green leaves and plenty of clear white flowers in spring-summer over a long period. Good for sun or light shade, not too dry. 40cm.
Close to A. nemorosa this emerges in spring with chocolate brown leaves which slowly turn green. Clear white flowers like the wood anemones to 10cm. Humusy soil in shade.
A lovely clump forming Anemone for shade. Rounded, three-lobed leaves and strong stems of white flowers with blue backs to 40cm. Drained but good soil in shade.
A new white form with ragged semi-double flowers merging into a ring of green bracts. Often pink tinged in the centre. Good woodsy soil in shade. 15cm.
Popular form of Wood Anemone for its bright white flowers with a ruff of bright white petalloid stamens giving a near double look. Low growing spring flower for shade and ordinary soil. 15cm.
One of the better pink Wood Anemones. This opens white and flushes pink becoming a rich, deep pink after a few days. Average to good soil in shade. 15cm.
An uncommon form with semi-double white flowers surrounded by green bracts suffused and occasionally splashed with white. 15cm. Good, leafy soil in shade.
Another low growing, woodland anemone this one has bright yellow flowers over mid green leaves in spring to 15cm. Reasonable soil in shade or part shade. Easy, slowly spreading.
The unusual, slower growing, multi-petalled form. It would be over enthusiastic to call it double but it does have lots of extra petals giving a much more full look. Otherwise just like the species.
Related to A. nemorosa, this produces a low carpet of silver marked bright green leaves and nodding pure white flowers in spring. Reasonable soil in part shade. 15cm.
The naturally occuring hybrid between Anemone nemorosa and Anemone ranunculoides. Pale yellow flowers on low, slowly spreading, clumps of mid green foliage. Spring. Good soil in shade or part shade.
