The most common anemone is the Grecian Windflower (Anemone blanda). I absolutely love these little perennial flowers. While I only have the deep blue (purplish), they also come in pink and white. The plant forms a thick fern-like clump, doesn’t get more than 4 or 5 inches tall and is filled with these large, daisy-like flowers for up to 6 weeks in early spring.

These plants are hardy in zones 5-9, grow in sun to light shade, bloom and then disappear. They gradually multiply by self-seeding and require absolutely no maintenance.

Such a gorgeous flower and that color is my favorite kind of blue. Thank you so much for sharing your photo.
I enjoy the Grecian windflower too, as a cover for other’s legs or just by himself it is delightful. Thank you for sharing.
The combination of colors goes well here! The petals appear shiny too! Pretty!

Sherry: These are wonderful small flowers which you captured well.
absolutely gorgeous, nice color…
I can see why you love them. They are very beautiful.
Anemone blanda en masse on a woodland floor is a sight to behold, unfortunately they are not as easy to grw in a garden as they are in their native habitat.
Lovely shots and the Greek blue variety is particularly beautiful.
What a lovely color combo.
Beautiful images!
I love Anemones I have som in my garden too. But we have still a lot of snow so I must wait to see them.
Yours have a lovely colour.
Thanks for your visit

beautiful flowers!
and really wonderful Easter to you;)
Love anemones. Yours are especially beautifully captured. I planted some years ago in my front yard, but they seem to have disappeared.
I too love that color; and I learned something – I wonder if they would grow at all here? zone 5
Quietpaths, according to the labels on the packaging, they are hardy in zone 5 so they should grow in your area. I also read on another site that they may survive in even colder areas with a thick layer of mulch.
so lovely grecian windflowers. love the color. happy easter!
