Anemone nemorosa 'Royal Blue', Wood Anemone

One of the bluest A. nemorosas--deep, lavender-blue petals with purple backs. Soft yellow centers. Cute & naturalizing. Summer dormant.

NOTE: These are SUMMER DORMANT plants; they dry up and go "to sleep" after they bloom in spring. Other examples of summer dormant plants are Tulips and Daffodils. Do not be alarmed when they disappear with the onset of warm weather days--given proper conditions, they will be back the next spring, bigger and better than before.

• deer-resistant
