Notes
Three-leaved anemone (Anemone trifolia) is a perennial for borders and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and average to moist, loamy, clay, or chalky soil. It blooms in early to late spring. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Its easy nature suits a shady spot.
Pairs well with Francee hosta, Western sword fern, and Gardenia peony.
