Growing & Maintenance Tips
Anemone sylvestrisgrows best in a moist, loose soil in partial shade. Tolerates full sun as long as adequate moisture is provided. Will wander in the garden, however, can be easily contained with regular weeding and general maintenance. Do not prune back immediately after the flowers fade, as blossoms leave behind unique woolly seed heads that remain for the summer. However, the plants are self-seeding. Catch them at the right time.
Notes
Also referred to as European Thimbleweed. Anemones are toxic when ingested and can cause skin irritation.
