Notes
Narcissus anemone (Anemonastrum demissum) is a perennial for meadow gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun to part shade, average moisture, and sandy or loamy soil. It bears creamy-white flowers with yellow centers, often one at a time or up to three per cluster. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Blooms appear in late spring and again in early to late summer.
