Anemonella thalictroides (1Litre Pot)

Description

Anemonella thalictroides is a charming small, spring flowering plant with pink anemone flowers over fern-like, dissected, blue-green foliage, like that of Thalictrum.  Also known as ‘Rue anemone’, it is a clump-forming tuberous perennial that can grow up to 10cm tall with a spread of up to 30cm. It will flower for a good number of weeks longer than wood anemone in Spring and early Summer. 

They are part of the buttercup family Ranunculaceae from Eastern USA. They will thrive in lightly shaded areas with a well-drained soil. In its natural habitat this plant grows under deciduous trees, flowering before the trees come into leaf so is a perfect low growing plant under trees and shrubs, or on the shady side of a rock garden, and look particularly attractive when planted in clumps. Becoming dormant in late Summer, they then overwinter as small tubers just beneath the soil surface.
