| Anemones
are variable perennials with rhizomatous, tuberous, fleshy, or fibrous
rootstocks. Most anemones produce both stem and basal leaves that are
rounded to oval and mid- to dark green. The leaves are dissected and may
be hairy. Anemones are grown for their open saucer-shaped or shallow,
cup-shaped flowers in many colors. Anemone pulsatilla is a clump-forming
perennial with fern-like foliage, 3 to 8 inches long. Bell-shaped,
violet-blue flowers from April to May and yield purplish-grey pom pom-like
seed clusters |
