Eastern False Rue Anemone, Isopyrum, Isopyrum biternatum
Enemion biternatum (False Rue Anemone) is a charming woodland perennial boasting white flowers, less than 1 in. across (2.5 cm), adorned with 5-10 petal-like sepals and a dense cluster of yellow stamens. Blooming for about 3 weeks in early to late spring, the delicate flowers appear individually or in groups of 2-3, atop slender stems mostly arising from the leaf axils. Attractive to native bees, they rise above a lacy rosette of 3-parted, dark-green leaves. Native to eastern North America, False Rue Anemone occurs naturally in rich mesic woodlands and low woodlands along streams where deciduous trees are dominant. This spring ephemeral spreads to form dense colonies and creates a lovely carpet of vegetation. False Rue Anemone becomes dormant in summer, however, new leaves will appear in fall, lending their unique texture to the autumn and winter.
