Re: Anemones??

Hello Cindy,
    I am aware of only two species that can be considered aggressive in the
garden. Some may call the invasive under the right circumstances. A. cylindrica
and A. canadensis. I do not carry either one in my catalog.
    If I could pick only one anemone for the spring garden it would be A. nemorosa
in some form. Easily grown, spreads at a reasonable rate and does not smother its
neighbors. Vestal would probably be the first pick in form. double white that will
go with anything and hold its own. For fall or late color one of the Japanese or
hubehensis hybrid forms. Especially with Aconitum(Monkshoods).
    This is like asking which of my sons I like best.....
