Anemone sylvestris aka Snowdrop Anemone
Taxonomy
Anemonoides sylvestris, also known as snowdrop anemone or snowdrop windflower, is a compact perennial plant native to meadows and dry deciduous woodlands in central and western Europe, as well as temperate Asia. It forms spreading patches and can be quite aggressive in its growth. With mid-green leaves cut deeply into three fine lobes, this perennial produces beautiful pure white flowers with a golden yellow center in late spring and early summer. Snowdrop Anemones are low-growing perennials that add beauty to any garden, but they can be invasive in certain areas due to their quick spreading nature. It is often used in rock gardens or as a border plant, reaching a height and width of about 1 foot (30 cm). With its deeply divided leaves and soft texture, the white flowers of Anemone sylvestris bloom in late spring and early summer, distinguished by their bright yellow stamens. It is also sometimes referred to as Madonna and is able to thrive in various climates despite being native to Europe.

Difficulty
Snowdrop Anemone is a low-maintenance plant that requires minimal attention, making it an excellent choice for beginners.
Water
Snowdrop Anemone should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
Soil
Snowdrop Anemone loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.
Lighting
To ensure optimal growth, the Snowdrop Anemone prefers bright diffused light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.
Dormancy
During the cold period, it is common for Snowdrop Anemone to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more during this period.
Toxicity
Ploi's records do not contain confirmed information on the toxicity of this particular plant. In the event of accidental ingestion of plant material with questionable toxicity by you, a family member, or a pet, it is always a good idea to consult a healthcare professional.
Fertilizer
The growth of Snowdrop Anemone is not rapid and it doesn't necessitate any extra fertilization. By replacing its potting soil once a year, it should receive ample nutrition. It is important to note that plants obtain their energy from the sun's rays, not from fertilizers.
