~Didn't receive seeds for this one last fall. I'll likely offer them again in coming years, as the plants I have mature and set seed~
Anemone parviflora
Small-flowered Anemone
- Consistently moist areas, including gravely streambanks
- Full sun
- 6 to 10” tall, 6” to 8” spread
- Early summer blooming, with sporadic reblooming
- Native to Ontario, open meadow and rock garden settings
This small Anemone is a new introduction to the spaces I tend, grown from seeds from the Ottawa Wildflower Seed Library.
Described as a sub-arctic or alpine species and as having a preference for area with consistently available moisture, such as stream banks by the Missouri Botanical Garden, I suspect that these would co-exist well with Campanula rotundifolia and other small, clumping species that prefer not to be crowded by rambunctious neighbours.
