Anemone baldensis (Anemone fragifera, Anemone alpina, Anemonoides baldensis, Pulsatilla baldensis) Anemos is the Greek for 'wind' and 'mone' meaning place, habitation. Theophrastus was the first to use the name 'anemone'; however, some authorities believe the word comes from the Syrian nama'an, the cry for the dead Adonis whose blood is described in legend as returning to life in the scarlet anemones. |

Comment |
Anemone baldensis is native to France, Switzerland, mountains of North Italy, rocky sites in former Yugoslavia, and North America. Should be grown in light shade where summers are hot; in full sun in cooler climates. Plant tubers 2 inches deep and spaced about 6 inches apart in bold drifts in September or October. Where soil is not moist, soaking the tubers in lukewarm water for about 24 hours will speed start of growth. Once started, plants must be given adequate moisture until flowering is past and foliage begins to die down. Between June and July, lift and divide tubers after foliage has died down. Can be grown with green carpet rupturewort to provide a light green background for the flowers. Available from Kevock Garden Plants , Rob's Plants and B & T World Seeds in USA. |
