Rue Anemone
Anemonella Thalictroides
Overview
Rue Anemone (Anemonella thalictroides) is a delicate, woodland perennial, thriving in partial to full shade. Featuring lacy, basal foliage similar to meadow rue, it reaches 6-9 inches in height. In early spring, it bears white or soft pink blossoms that add a subtle charm to any garden. Prefers well-drained, humus-rich soil. Ideal for naturalized areas, it is a low-maintenance choice for adding soft texture beneath canopy trees. Zone 4-8.
