I have always wanted this plant and finally started a big bunch from Wsd seed in 2007. They bloomed this year, but I was so disappointed by where I planted them..next to some late blooming white daffodils with a small yellow cup. You can't tell where the Anemones start and the daffodils end. LOL! I was very surprised that the flowers really stand up and above and away from the foliage.
If you ever grow these, put them where the white flowers will really stand out and be counted! They are lovely!

Short 16" - Plant 12" apart. Zone 4-9 Fragrant satiny white nodding flowers in May and June. Best in a humusy soil in bright shade. Flowers fade to form cottony seed heads. Can repeat bloom in fall's cooler weather. Unlike it's fall blooming cousins, this Anemone shines in the spring.
Given plants from neighbor's yard and they've thrived wherever planted (full sun to light shade, sandy loam soil). The plant is mildly invasive enabling me to share with others Have had a second blooming in late summer if I deadhead spent flowers, but love the look of the puff balls too. Zone 5 spring weather allows for a blooming period of several weeks.
