Anemone nemorosa 'Green Dragon' | Green Dragon Wood Anemone

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Anemone nemorosa ‘Green Dragon’ features unusual green and white flowers formed from tightly packed, irregular segments. Blossoms emerge in early to mid spring, held above deeply divided medium-green foliage that forms low, spreading colonies. Flowers often show subtle variation in shape, adding visual texture as plants mature through the season.

This selection originated in European woodland gardens during the nineteenth century. It performs well in naturalized drifts, shaded borders, and along paths where its unusual flowers can be viewed up close. It creates seasonal ground-level interest and combines naturally with other spring-flowering woodland plants, including early bulbs and companion perennials.
