The Early Bloomers Windflowers are familiar flowers to most gardeners. Alpine, woodland or perennial border, all have available a broad selection of anemones to choose from. Woodlanders would have a full range of species to select from, including A. nemorosa .
Alpine gardeners find many favorites including aplennina and narcissiflora .
The anemone has long been a favorite in gardens going back into antiquity. Long enough for the origin of it's name to be lost in time. While some are handy with a sword ending a life, others can't end a sentence. However they acquired the name, windflowers are responsive to not only wind, but also other weather related factors in their environment. Many species have relatively long and slender stems with large flowers.
