Notes
'Bridesmaid' Greek thimbleweed (Anemone blanda 'Bridesmaid') is a bulb for borders, rock gardens, woodland gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It blooms in early to late spring and grows at a rapid rate. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers, and the plant tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Japanese forest grass, Halcyon hosta, and Green and gold.
