Delicate nodding white flowers appear in late spring and early summer, over a low mound of ferny foliage. Plants will form a dense patch, suitable for a groundcover. Makes a useful over-planting for Narcissus or tulips, the Anemone leaves helping to disguise the bulb foliage in summer. Both the flowers as well as the fluffy seed-heads are useful for cutting.
Care:
Not a huge amount of care needed. Cut back after flowering.
