Blanda But Not Bland



Anemone blanda is such a retiring little plant that it gets lost pretty easily in a crowded garden. However, Anemone blanda ‘Ingramii’ (shown at top) has no such problem; its blue is the deepest yet brightest of blues. This particular selection of blanda is native to southern Greece; it begins flowering before other blandas, and also stays in bloom the longest; it’s been blooming here for almost a month now. For comparison, at bottom is a more ordinary blue Anemone blanda.
