Anemone nemorosa 'Allenii' | Allenii Wood Anemone

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Anemone nemorosa ‘Allenii’ bears soft lavender-blue flowers with a pale center, opening fully in cool spring weather. Blooms appear in early to mid spring, floating above whorls of deeply divided green foliage. The flowers follow the sun, closing in shade or evening, while the foliage forms a low, carpeted layer that emerges early and retreats quietly as summer approaches.

Selected in the British Isles in the early twentieth century, this cultivar reflects classic woodland heritage. It is well suited to deciduous woodland gardens, shaded borders, and naturalized drifts, where spreading rhizomes create sweeping colonies. ‘Allenii’ pairs with bulbs and spring ephemerals, before trees leaf out.
