Anemones – A Family of Spring and Summer Jewels
Anemones offer a diverse and rewarding range of garden treasures, each with its own character and season of interest.

Anemone blanda – Also known as Grecian Windflowers, these low-growing beauties create carpets of daisy-like blooms in shades of blue, pink, and white. Ideal for naturalising beneath trees or among other early spring bulbs.

Anemone nemorosa – The classic Wood Anemone, native to British woodlands, with graceful, starry white or soft-hued flowers. Perfect for shaded areas where they quietly spread and charm year after year.

Anemone ranunculoides – A cheerful cousin to nemorosa, this golden-yellow species brightens woodland edges and shady nooks, offering a splash of sunshine early in the season.

Anemone coronaria – These bold and striking summer-flowering anemones, including the popular De Caen and St Brigid types, feature large poppy-like blooms in vivid colours. Excellent for cutting and eye-catching in borders or pots.

Each type brings something special — from woodland softness to vivid drama — making Anemones an essential and versatile group for any garden.
