Anemone Harmony Blue

Large, periwinkle blue-purple petals surround the navy blue center on this marginally hardy poppy anemone. The mounded habit is comprised of finely dissected leaves, with the flowers on sturdy stems held well above. This anemone is recommended as a cool season annual in Chicago-area gardens, in shaded to full sun locations. Adventurous gardeners might be able to have them return in following years, if they plant them in a sheltered microclimate, moisture-retentive, well-drained soil.
