'Elfin Swan' anemone (Anemone 'Elfin Swan') is a perennial that bees visit. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes part sun. Nodding purple buds open to white flowers with purple backs, and blooms appear from early summer into autumn. It forms a clump and stays non-invasive. Rabbits tend to pass it by.
