Wood Anemone (Anemone nemorosa) is a classic woodland wildflower native to the UK, well known for its delicate white star-shaped flowers and finely divided leaves. It blooms in early spring before the tree canopy fills out, carpeting the ground with charming, low-growing floral displays. The flowers open in sunlight and close in the shade, creating a dynamic, changing appearance throughout the day.
This ancient woodland indicator species spreads slowly via rhizomes, offering long-term beauty in naturalised plantings. Plant the bulbs in autumn while dormant for best results. Wood Anemone thrives in humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil in shady spots.
