Meadow Anemone
Anemone canadensis
Canada Anemone is a vigorous grower, featuring deep green, lobed leaves and charming white blossoms with yellow centers that appear in late spring. This plant is excellent for creating a lush, green carpet in moist areas of the garden, where it can spread freely. While it is a boon for stabilizing soil and suppressing weeds, care should be taken to manage its spread in smaller garden spaces.
