Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A vigorous yet compact grower that blooms heavily with mid-blue flowers. Spreading, easy to grow "filler" for the woodland garden or in front of a shady border. Prefers moist, humusy soil but tolerates drier soil in summer as they are then dormant.
Soft blue flowers on this Wood Anemone play nicely with the lightly bronzed emerging new leaves. Our plant came from David Mason and Susie Grimm at Hedgerows Nursery who picked this up in the UK. We always like tracing the lineage of acquisition as it helps fill in those empty hours you have so many of when you have a nursery.............
