Anemone, Wild Swan

Japanese Anemone 'Wild Swan', Windflower 'Wild Swan'

Due to its parentage, which contains a few different early and late-blooming Anemone cultivars, 'Wild Swan' has a very extended flowering season and blooms consistently from late spring until frost. In the breeze, the flowers sway and dance as they are carried delicately on wiry stems above the deeply divided, dark green foliage. 'Wild Swan' is well-behaved and requires little maintenance; unlike Japanese Anemones, it does not overtake nearby plants.
