With masses of lilac-blue, daisy-like flowers, Anemone blanda ‘Blue Shades’ (Grecian Windflower) lights up the mid-spring garden. Lovely planted with tulips, daffodils, around trees, and even in the lawn. Pollinator-friendly, these diminutive plants will spread when happy, creating ever more flowers. When flowering is done, they go dormant until the following spring making them the perfect choice for interplanting with later-season perennials.

Description

The daisy-shaped flowers of Anemone blanda offer cheerful blooms in early spring. Known commonly as windflowers, these wildflowers are native to Greece and adapt readily to dry climates in the United States, particularly the desert southwest. Plants prefer well-drained soil and will naturalize by both self-seeding and by tuberous rhizomes. If you want to pick anemone flowers, sear the stem ends in boiling water for 15 seconds and they'll hold their petals longer. Well suited to containers, transfer to the garden in fall.

A lovely addition to a semi-shaded garden

"I live in the southwest NM and didn't really think this would last a season. I planted it 2 years ago when we had an awful heat dome settle over us with temps in the 100's for over 2 months, and then again the following year. Most plants really struggled, even this little guy who amazingly survived. I do have it in an area shaded from the afternoon sun and regularly moist soil. Although it has remained small, it is covered with dark green foilage and that lovely blue flower flush in the spring, and again in the fall when it's cooler with even a few here and there throughout the season. I think it might do very well in a container."

Planted as directed - Not one grew

"I planted these bulbs in a variety of locations in my yard, as directed. Not a single one even sprouted…"
