Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Anemone nemorosa is a charming woodland ground cover that produces cute little one inch wide flowers in early spring above nicely dissected foliage. 'Vestal' is a beautiful double form where the centres are filled with a delicate dome of tiny white petals surrounded by a ring of normal sized petals. Known as wood anemone or windflower, plant them around dark flowered hellebores to help show them off against the dark soil or as an ephemeral ground cover beneath deciduous trees and shrubs. They will go dormant in mid to late summer.
