| Anemone nem. virescens |

| Anemone nem. 'Bowles Purple' |
There is a wide variation in colour and size of flowers within the name varieties.
All are summer deciduous so as soon as they have set seed they disappear for another year
a fleeting but magnificent display. They are well worth growing under deciduous trees and shrubs as early flowering ground cover.

| Anemone nem. 'Royal Blue' |
Often you will spot them flowering and forget they had been planted and this is always a good surprise.
All Anemone nemorosa are best planted as growing plants, they will establish far better. The dry packaged rhizomes sold and planted in October tend to be rodent fodder!! Also should be rehydrated pre planting.
If you are planting these out in the autumn make sure that they are given a soak in water prior to planting. I advise that you plant with chicken wire around the rhizomes to protect from squirrels and mice.
Also place a label underground with these plants as the other main culprit of them disappearing is You digging them up. The rhizomes look like twigs and are often thrown away after a tidy up.

| Anemone x lipseniensis |
Anemone x lipseniensis is slightly more refined with
lovely purple foliage and soft lemon flowers as contrast.
Slower to colonise an area so patience is required.
