Attractive in gardens and meadows, Anemone virginiana (Thimbleweed) is a charming deciduous perennial producing masses of single, star-shaped, white flowers, 1 in. wide (2.5 cm), adorned with a slightly elongated, thimble-like mound of greenish stamens. Borne on upright stems, the blossoms rise above the foliage of deeply cut, dark green leaves, clustered in whorls halfway up the stem. Blooming in late spring to midsummer, the flowers are followed by ornamental, fluffy seedheads which persist well into winter. Slowly enlarging over time, Anemone virginiana is not as aggressive as most other Anemone species. This exquisite North American wildflower can be found in rocky or dry open woods or wooded slopes throughout central and eastern United States and Canada. It is a perfect addition to the shaded or woodland garden.
