Most spring bloomers sport an upright form - daffodils, tulips, alliums and their friends. Anemone blanda, with its pretty lacy foliage, hugs the ground and creates a tapestry of perfectly formed daisy-like flowers. Excellent for filling gaps and easy to please.

This white form of the wild, mostly blue original (see above) was introduced in 1950, won an RHS Award of Garden Merit in 1993, and, to quote Christopher Lloyd, is both "the strongest growing" and "dazzling." Blooms and naturalizes best in bright shade, 5-8", zones 5a-8a (9WC)
