Description

This small perennial grows 3-6', and has creeping rhizomes, deeply-cut leaves and flowers suspended above the foliage (the color of which will be white; on rare occassions is pinkish or blue). Slow-spreading, it makes an attractive woodland groundcover. When sown immediately, the seeds of this anemone will produce flowering plants in 3-4 years. Its blossoms produce burr-like fruit similiar (but smaller) than the Canadian anemone. The best effect of this plant comes from growing it in masses.

Water Saving Tip:

In shrub areas, convert from spray sprinklers to bubbler or drip systems that apply water directly to roots.

Occasionally check the soil's moisture level around shrubs before and after watering to determine if watering times are appropriate.
