<i>Anemone nemerosa</i> ‘Robinsoniana’ | Wood Anemone ‘Robinsoniana’
DESCRIPTION
Anemone nemorosa 'Robinsoniana' is a delightful herbaceous perennial adored for its delicate pale blue flowers and attractive foliage. This cultivar of the native wood anemone blooms in early to mid-spring, with its flowers often appearing before the leaves are fully developed. The star-shaped flowers, consisting of several overlapping petals with a hint of lavender, contrast beautifully with the dark green, deeply lobed leaves, creating a soft and ethereal display. 'Robinsoniana' forms low-growing clumps and is borne on slender, wiry stems that rise above the foliage, with bright yellow stamens at the center of each flower. Thriving in partial to full shade and preferring moist, well-draining soil rich in organic matter, it is well-suited for woodland gardens, shaded borders, and rock gardens with consistent moisture.
