Anemone quinquefolia (Wood Anemone) is a delicate, early-spring perennial producing masses of single, star-shaped, white flowers, 1 in. wide (2.5 cm), sometimes flushed pink or rose-red on their reverse, and with a ring of prominent creamy-white stamens. Borne on short upright stems, the blossoms rise above whorls of deeply, finely cut, dark green leaves. Blooming from mid-spring to early summer, this spring ephemeral will go dormant as temperatures rise in summer. Colony forming, Wood Anemone slowly spreads from a slender rhizome to form a charming ground cover in shaded areas. This exquisite wildflower can be found in wooded areas of the eastern half of the United States. It is a perfect addition along shady edges of ponds or streams or planted in drifts in woodland gardens.

• Undemanding and virtually pest-free and disease-free, this Anemone is a welcomed addition to woodland gardens. Deer resistant.
