Anemone virginiana | tall thimbleweed

Our native Anemones have a secret power: their flowers are actually colored sepals. This botanical trait bestows these charming plants with an extended bloom time beginning in late spring and continuing well into summer. This species, also known as Virginia anemone, can tolerate a range of exposures from full sun to shade. It is naturally occurring in open woods and and will thrive in part sun conditions with average to well-draining soils. The greenish-white flowers are held on erect stems which can reach 1-3’ tall. Generally critter resistant, tolerates rocky soils, and ends the season with cute, thimble-like fluffy seed heads!
