Resembling a perfect powder puff, Anemone nemorosa 'Alba Plena' (Wood Anemone) is a dwarf, mat-forming, rhizomatous herbaceous perennial producing a profusion of pure white flowers adorned with a cute dome-shaped center packed with narrow staminodes. Borne on short upright stems, they rise above a deeply, finely cut, dark green foliage. Blooming in early to late spring, this Anemone spreads by branched and creeping rhizomes to form a showy floral carpet in shaded areas.

• Rising up to 4 in. tall (10 cm) and 16 in. wide (40 cm), this Anemone naturalizes well and will gradually spread into colorful colonies. It will go dormant as temperatures rise in summer
• On a gray day, the flowers remain closed and hang their heads, but when the sun shines, the blossoms are held aloft, fully open, and follow the sun's course across the sky.
• Easily grown in humus-rich, fertile, moist, slightly acidic, well-drained soils in part shade. Keep the soil moist during the growing season. Once established, this plant has some drought tolerance while dormant.
• Undemanding and virtually pest-free and disease-free, this Anemone is a welcomed addition to borders, under trees and large shrubs, rock gardens or in woodlands. For best visual impact, plant en masse.
• To be planted in fall.
• Propagate by seed or by division when the foliage has died back.
• Contact with sap may irritate skin
• Anemone nemorosa species is native to Europe.
