Anemone sylvestris aka Snowdrop Anemone
Taxonomy ID: 4887
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.
