Anemone canadensis
WOOD ANEMONE, CANADIAN
SKU: 85-010
Description
Anemone canadensis (Canada anemone, round-headed anemone, meadow anemone, crowfoot) is a herbaceous perennial native to meadows, thickets, streambanks, and lakeshores in North America, spreading by underground rhizomes, and valued for its pretty white flowers. The flowers bloom from late spring to summer.
Wood Anemone grow well in difficult locations. They are tolerant of both moist and dry soils, and also grow well under evergreen (coniferous) trees despite the dry, acidic conditions.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 2-9
Height: 18"
Location: Sun or part shade
Note: Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
Germination: Start these seeds right away for best germination rates. Your planting container should have holes in the bottom for excess water to drain. Sow the seeds just under the surface of a sterile seed-start mix, and water in. Leave them at room temperature (20-22 °C, 68-72 °F) for 4 weeks. If they have not germinated after 4 weeks then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 5-6 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold-moist stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15C, 59F) for them to germinate. Germination can be 30-90 days after the warming period, though some will take longer.
