Description
A sweet and rich flowering anemone, the result of a natural crossing of Anemone nemorosa x Anemone ranunculoides. Somewhat variable, still occurs in places where both parents grow together in nature. Soft primrose yellow flowers in March-April. For not too dry soil, good for naturalising in semi to full shade.
BELONGS TO THE FAMILY OF RANUNCULACEAE
Anemone or windflower. Origin: from Southeast Europe to Central Asia. Carolus Clusius introduced this plant to the Netherlands over 400 years ago.
Anemones are particularly loved for their contrasting, bright colors. There are as many as 70 known species. According to a Greek legend: The tears that Aphrodite wept for the dying Adonis rolled onto the earth and turned into anemones.
