| This long-lived
fibrous-rooted perennial if indispensible
for fall color in partial shade. Also, makes
a good cut flower. The word “anemone”
is derived from the Greek word for this flower,
meaning the wind; a present-day common name
for Anemone is Windflower. There are many
different types of Anemones, including bulbous
forms, and although it is known that W. R.
Hearst used “Anemones” in the hilltop
gardens, it is not certain that he used Japanese
Anemones. |
