WOOD ANEMONE, CANADIAN
Anemone canadensis
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 to preserve viability, no matter the time of year. These seeds require a period of cold. Sow the seeds just under the surface of a sterile seed-start mix, and water in. Then cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 5-6 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature for them to germinate. If possible, the best location for sowing in March, April and May, is in cold frame or a cold greenhouse where they will receive the cold period and fluctuating temperatures naturally.
