Anemone

Those with the wood anemone habit are best divided in autumn, so we will send out pieces of recently potted rhizome, best left potted until in growth in spring.

Anemone appenina double flowered £4.50
Rarely seen, this form of a species mid-way in growth form between nemorosa and blanda, has fully double flowers of an indescribable, almost iridescent pale lilac. Few.
Anemone flaccida £3.50
A rhizomatous plant for woodland conditions. The leaves are rather thick, and elegantly marbled. The flowers are creamy white, of a good size, in early spring. 15cm.
Anemone hupehensis 'Bodnant Burgundy' £5
Middling height Japanese anemone with plenty of deep reddish pink sepals. To 1m.
Anemone x lipsiensis £3.25
Essentially a smaller, more delicate version of A. nemorosa, with lovely pale yellow flowers. Well worth finding it the humusy soil it needs.

Anemone nemorosa varieties
The wood anemones need little introduction as tough, gently spreading woodlanders, never failing to charm, whether in leaf or flower.
Anemone nemorosa 'Bill Baker's Pink' £3.50 starting pale pink and darkening.
Anemone nemorosa 'Buckland' £3.25 - a decent blue
Anemone nemorosa 'Royal Blue' £3.25 - another decent blue!
Anemone nemorosa 'Blue Eyes' £3.25 is a shaggy semi-double, white with a blue flush around the centre of the fully double flower.
Anemone nemorosa 'Flore Pleno' £3.25 is a pure white double - increasingly I doubt whether the differences between this and 'Vestal', which people so freely quote, are valid.
Anemone nemorosa 'Lady Doneraile' £3.50 - a muscular plant which has really big white flowers standing head and shoulders above the leaves (it may be the same as Leeds' Variety and Wilks' Giant; nobody knows wood anemones well enough).

Anemone obtusiloba 'Sulphurea' £3.50
Small softly hairy rosettes sending up lemon yellow flowers with a luminous hint of highlighter pen, in spring but often continuing well into summer. 10cm. Humusy soil, light shade.
Anemone ranunculoides ssp. wockeana £3.25
Tiny, floriferous, buttercup yellow wood anemone relative: 5cm.
Anemone sp. nov.? £4
Chinese, and rhizomatous. White, purple backed flowers, young leaves purple. Height 40cm. Moist, sun.
