RE: Spring Perennials/ Combinations

Gene, I grow anemone nemorsa in blue.  Is the pink really pink?  I would
like to try some if it is truly pink.

I also love anemone sylvestris -- have you ever tried it?  It seeds about
freely so there is always some to share, but in my climate, it is more often
bloom than not for about 6 months out of the year.
