♦ Zones:  4 - 8     Height:  12 - 18"     Exposure:  Part Shade ♦

This spring-blooming anemone features cup-shaped, fragrant, 5-sepaled, often nodding, white flowers with yellow anthers in the center. Flowers are borne singly on upright stems growing above medium green, deeply-lobed foliage. Flowers give way to white, woolly seed heads. Repeat bloom may occur in the cooler weather of early autumn. Snowdrop anemone is a rhizomatous plant that forms spreading patches.  Excellent spring flower for the shaded or woodland garden. Good for naturalized areas or wild gardens.
