Positive	Malus2006	On Jun 3, 2008, Malus2006 from Coon Rapids, MN (Zone 4a) wrote: The pale pink form is locally common around the Twin Cities - the white form is rarely found so at least most of the time it is easy to tell the different between rue anemone from false rue anemone by the colors of the flowers. (This is a observation for the Twin Cities area - it doesn't apply to rue anemones from other areas) Will seed itself and spreads into tiny clumps - but need space to be able to thrive. Woodland shade to partial shade.
Neutral	Baa	On Apr 4, 2003, Baa wrote: Simply put, this is a pink flowered form of Anemonella thalictroides, a tuberous perennial native to North America. Has deep green, divided foliage that looks something like Thalictrum species (Meadow Rue), the leaves first appear in a deep reddish brown darkening to green as the season wears on. Bears delicate, cup shaped, pink flowers. Flowers March-April Loves a humus rich, moist but well drained, acid or neutral soil in light shade. The tubers can rot if they are in water for too long. Excellent woodland plant and is a lot tougher than it looks.
