Description
Anemonella thalictroides White
Height x Spread: 20cm x 20cm
As this little spring flowering plant emerges, the foliage has a bronze colour which gradually changes to mid green as the single pure white flowers open.
It is a really lovely addition to the shady border for planting near to or beneath shrubs, as here it will receive the shade and free drainage it needs to thrive. Also, in this type of location, when it goes summer dormant, it is less likely to be dug up by mistake.
