Description

The wood anemone is one of the heralds of spring and is a familiar sight that many people know from their walks in the woods. Because when (bot.) Anemone nemorosa starts to flower, it unfurls veritable carpets of flowers in deciduous woods and under groups of trees in the garden in spring. From March onwards, the white star-shaped flowers shine out promisingly from the foliage and literally call out to the observer that spring is not far away. To achieve this effect in the garden, it is important to use many plants of this species. This is because a single specimen only bears one flower. In rare cases, there may be two of the pretty bowl-shaped formations. There is room for between 24 and 26 plants per square meter. The flowers are usually made up of six to eight petals, which unfurl from the center in a star shape. In the center of the flowers, stamens rise up around the carpels in the middle.

Growing tips

The bush anemone, which grows in groups, is easy to care for and fairly undemanding. It thrives best among woody plants in fresh soil that is loosened and rich in humus. In nature, falling leaves provide a regular supply of humus. In a tidy garden, plant lovers need to help out and promote the growth of the perennial by adding humus in the spring before budding and in the fall. The gardener doesn't need to worry about watering, as the leaves will already retreat in early summer before the onset of dry weather. The perennial survives in its rhizomes until the following spring. The bush anemone has a relatively short flowering period and withdraws quite quickly after the flowering phase. It reliably sprouts again the following year. This is the plant's normal way of life, so its growth can also be observed in the wild, often in forests. The wood anemone is a reliable spring ornamental in the garden, but goes back into the ground before the days get too warm. This makes the wood anemone a thoroughly low-maintenance plant for planting under trees and a wonderful messenger of spring. It is advisable to plant late sprouting perennials as neighbors to conceal the bare patches that inevitably result from the early leaf emergence of the wood anemone.
