14 Beautiful Types Of Anemone Flowers

Anemones vary in their hardiness and growth requirements but all grow easily from corms, bulbs, or as herbaceous perennial plants sold in garden centers in spring and summer. In zones where they aren’t hardy, anemones are often planted as annuals. Although many varieties love the sun, others thrive in woodland gardens, giving a much-needed color boost to shady landscapes. They come in a multitude of colors including white, pink, red, blue, purple, and yellow. There are three main types of anemones that offer different bloom periods during the year. These are: spring flower, which bloom in the spring; tuberous Mediterranean, which bloom in both spring and summer; and fall flowering anemones, which bloom from late summer through the fall. Here are 14 anemone varieties that will add elegance to floral arrangements and cheer to border gardens.
