Anemone nemorosa 'Alba', Windflower

Compact and carpet-forming, with narrow leaves and single white blooms spring through early summer, Anemones prefer winter-wet, summer-dry (during dormancy).

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.

Mature size: 4 inches tall and slowly naturalizing

Properties/conditions:

• deer-resistant
• humus-rich soil
• intermittent water
• part shade
• well-draining soil
