Anemone sylvestris -- "Large Forest Anemone" or "Snowdrop Anemone" Attractive
gently nodding clean white flowers,
that are somewhat fragrant, blooming in late spring. The flowers are 1.5
inches wide with yellow stamens clustered in their
center and are held 10 to 15 inches or so above the ground. Plants form
spreading clumps in open woodlands or fields. Grow
in well-drained soils that are moist and rich in organic matter. Overly dry
soils will retard good growth. Some re-blooming
threw out the summer and white fluffy seed heads produced after flowering. I
find the leaves of the Anemones very appealing
with their flowers held up above the foliage. Zones 3-7 (8).
