Anemone stolonifera

Anemone stolonifera

Description

Anemone stolonifera is a perennial flowering plant native to eastern North America. It has small, white flowers with yellow centers, and deeply divided leaves. The plant grows in clumps, with stolons (horizontal stems) that can take root where they touch the ground, allowing the plant to spread.

Anemone stolonifera grows to a height of about 12-15 inches, and spreads through its stolons to form large colonies. It grows best in partial to full shade, in moist but well-draining soil. The plant is winter hardy and can withstand freezing temperatures.

The edible parts of Anemone stolonifera are the leaves, which can be harvested in the spring and used in salads. The leaves can be stored in a refrigerator for a few days after harvest.

In addition to its ornamental value in gardens, Anemone stolonifera can also be used as a ground cover in shaded areas, and its stolons can help control erosion on slopes. The plant also provides nectar for pollinators and other beneficial insects.
