Canada Anemone Windflower, also known as Anemone canadensis, is an early blooming perennial that flowers during the spring. Stark white 5-petal blooms with yellow stamens are contrasted against green foliage with deeply cut edges. This hardy plant is low maintenance and grows as a perennial in USDA zones 3 through 8.
Plant this beauty in beds, borders, or mass plantings. The spreading habit makes this Windflower a great groundcover. The pure white blooms stand out on their own or perfectly complement other flowering plants. The Canada Anemone Windflower is native to North America, so once this plant has had time to acclimate, it will do well with very little attention.
Canada Anemone Windflower Care
Canada Anemone Windflower needs full to part sun. Rich, loamy soil that is moist but well-drained is preferred. Water this plant weekly or when the top few inches of the soil dry out. Once established, this beauty will be rather self-sufficient, but water during a dry spell. Select a sheltered spot protected from high winds that can tear the delicate flowers.
Apply a balanced fertilizer in the spring to encourage abundant growth. Cut the plant back in late fall and apply a layer of mulch to protect against chilly temperatures.
Canada Anemone Windflower Spacing
Canada Anemone Windflower is an upright plant that will reach 18 to 24 inches tall. This plant will spread out 18 to 24 inches wide. Space plants 15 to 20 inches apart.
