Anemone rivularis (Riverside Windflower) is a clump-forming perennial with stiff, free-branching stems bearing umbels of delicate, saucer-shaped, white flowers, 1 in. across (2.5 cm), often tinged blue on the reverse. The flowers feature interesting violet-blue anthers. Blooming in late spring and early summer, the blossoms are borne above deeply divided dark green leaves. Native to southwest China, parts of the Himalayas, and north India, Anemone rivularis is found on forest margins, grassy slopes, streamsides, and lakesides. It is a perfect addition to the bog garden or along ponds and streams.
