Canada anemone provides a seasonal native ground cover topped by attractive white flowers in late spring. It spreads by rhizomes and will quickly grow into a large, robust planting. This also means that Canada anemone can easily overwhelm and out compete less hardy species, so give it its own space to colonize or choose other equally vigorous plant companions as neighbors. In bloom, plants can reach 24” tall. Canada anemone grows in full or partial sun, prefers moist, rich soils and is best used in large wet meadows, on stream banks, and moist woodland edge plantings. Once established, this is an easy species to propagate by divisions.
