Anemonella thalictroides | Rue Anemone

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Anemonella thalictroides produces delicate, star-shaped flowers in shades of soft white to pale pink, often accented by yellow stamens. Blooming in early to mid spring, the blossoms float above finely divided, blue-green foliage with a fernlike texture. Slender stems create an airy appearance that complements its gentle woodland character.

Native to eastern North America, this spring ephemeral emerges briefly before summer dormancy. It is well suited to woodland gardens, shaded borders, and naturalized plantings beneath deciduous trees. The plant blends easily among early bulbs and native wildflowers, providing subtle seasonal color during the earliest weeks of spring.
