ANEMONE SYLVESTRIS

Last year I planted Anemone 'sylvestris' in my garden but I planted it in the wrong place.  It was too far to the back of the border and it got lost behind a Malva 'rosea'.  This year, I have brought it forward, towards the front of the border where its beautiful white flowers can be truly appreciated.  I love the way white flowers shine so brightly at dusk when the rest of the garden is turning to shades of grey.






Anemone sylvestris

The label says that Anemone sylvestris is a clump forming herbaceous perennial with divided green leaves, fragrant white cup-shaped flowers with yellow anthers, on upright stems.  It should be grown in well-drained soil in full sun and achieves a size of 40cm x 40cm (18in x 18in).
