Description:
In the Buttercup Family, this plant exhibits a small white solitary flower that grows above a whirled leaf in May-July. Grown together in clumps, it creates a seasonal green groundcover. Its natural habitat includes moist meadows, woodlands and streambanks. Its toxicity, which is a common trait amongst plants in the Buttercup Family, deters deer browse. Create texture in your shady garden by planting this delicate-leaved Anemone alongside ferns and other woodland natives.
