Anemonoides blanda | Grecian Windflower

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Anemonoides blanda produces cheerful, daisy-like flowers in shades of blue, lavender, pink, or white, each centered with a cluster of golden stamens. The blossoms appear in early to mid spring, rising just above low mounds of finely cut, dark green foliage. Leaves emerge shortly before flowering and form a soft, fernlike carpet that enhances the plant’s delicate appearance.

Native to southeastern Europe and western Turkey, this spring-blooming perennial is valued for naturalizing beneath deciduous trees and shrubs. It works well in woodland gardens, along pathways, and in mixed bulb plantings, where it creates broad drifts of early-season color.
