Re: "Treasured Perennials"
Hello Val,
Can't assist on most of these, but the Anemone nemorosa Vestal is one of my
favorites. I have it both in the garden and the nursery. In fact, I carry five
different cultivars this year. Love this little anemone. Makes a wonderful
ground-cover beneath shrubs and small trees. Also weaving in and out of tall,
spiky, plants. Good lacy foliage, nice open blooms in cup shape that are of good
size and the color range is a wide one. From white, to pinks, blue, lavender and
blooms with one color on the inside, another on the back side of the petals. There
are also doubles, semi-doubles in form. Quite a few of these have been collected
for my garden and I still keep an eye out for more.
They are easy to grow with very little demands.
