A fairly new introduction that is already incredibly popular, award-winner Anemone 'Wild Swan' produces masses of large, pure white flowers, 3-4 in. across (7-9 cm), with attractive lavender-blue bands on the reverse of their petals. Opening throughout the day, the elegant flowers close to bells with a beautiful nodding habit in the evening and early morning. Enjoying an exceptionally long flowering season, 'Wild Swan' blooms continuously from late spring until frost as a result of its parentage which includes a few different early- and late-blooming Anemone varieties. The flowers are gracefully carried on wiry stems above the deeply divided, dark green foliage, dancing and swaying in the breeze. Low care and well-behaved, 'Wild Swan' stays where you plant it and does not invade its neighbors as can happen with Japanese Anemones. Grows up to 16-24 in. tall (40-60 cm) and spreads via rhizomes to 18-24 in. (45-60 cm).
