4 petalled star shape bloom |
Mar-Jun Spreading. Where soil is not moist, soaking the tubers in lukewarm water for about 24 hours will speed start of growth. Once started, plants must be given adequate moisture until flowering is past and foliage begins to die down. |
Natural habitat is sandy soil enriched by leaf mould in established woodlands, where they receive both full sun and part shade. |
Dark Green Plant tubers 3 inches (7.5 cm) deep and spaced about 3 inches apart in bold drifts in Between June and August, lift and divide tubers after foliage has died down every 2 or 3 years. |
Well-drained Chalk, Sand Suitable Anemones for the Rock garden:-
|
Pans in Alpine House, Rock Garden. Must be given protection of frames or greenhouses in colder areas. Companions:- |
Anemone See further details about Anemones in Allium Anemone Gallery. My suggestion for Anemones in the UK: Plant in 6 inch (15 cm) pot and plunge in outside bed after frost has passed, let them flower and then lift them and place in cold frost-free greenhouse during the winter without watering them. |

Anigozanthos |
Aquilegia canadensis All aquilegia seeds and roots are poisonous, since they contain cardiogenic toxins which cause both severe gastroenteritis and heart palpitations if consumed as food |
Red spur and red sepals with Yellow petals. Attracts butterflies and humming-birds for the nectar from the spurs |
Apr-Jun Only lives for about 3-4 years, so plant it in a place where it be can set seed. You can dig up your new seedlings in autumn and replant them where you want, or just collect the seeds and scatter them in bare patches in the border. |

Remove dead foliage and mark location of plants; even when dormant, they need to be kept moist. Tubers may rot in very wet soils like clay or alongside streams, rivers or lakes. |

Humus-rich, preferably well-drained acidic soil. Protect from cold, drying winds, which will damage or kill the mid-green foliage. |
Grow in a moist woodland garden or peat garden, or in a shady border Native in mountain woods of Japan. Japanese name of renge-shōma |
Anemonopsis |

A rhizomatous perennial tuber of woodlands, hedgerows and other shaded areas on moist, well-drained and reasonably fertile chalk or sand. Plant 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) deep. There is no known antidote to A. maculatum poisoning. The roots were a traditional source of starch for stiffening clothes. |
Use in woodland, riversides, in cottage gardens, under hedges, underplant roses and deciduous shrubs. |
Arum |

Calochortus luteus |
Second-year stems are topped with attractive blossoms. The flowers are 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) across, bell-shaped, and bear three wide yellow petals, in bunches |
The center of the flower is sparsely hairy and has distinct reddish brown streaks and blotches. After pollin-ation, the plant produces seeds and goes dormant for the summer. Upright, Columnar |
Pollinated by insects. |
10-20 x 4-6 Bulbs can be lifted as soon as the foliage dies down in the summer and stored overwinter in a cool dry place, replanting in spring. |
Starts from seeds or regrows in the winter from a bulb. In the spring, it sends out long, grass-like basal leaves and short, slender stems, directly from the bulb. Attracts butterflies and moths. Never irrigate once established. |
Full Sun, It is found in coastal prairie, hilly grasslands and woodland openings. It is endemic to California, growing from the central coast to the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. |

Cassiope lycopodioides |
Shining white, bell-like, 5 petal, nodding flowers from the leaf axils on short red stems. Flowers are above the foliage. |
Prostrate, mat. Late frosts may destroy the flowers. |
Apr-May Rock Garden and suitable for Coastal Condit-ions. |
2 x 15 Mat-forming. Tolerates temper-atures down to -12°C (USDA zone 8). |
Groundcover as a mat of thread-like stems, clothed in tiny greyish-green, evergreen leaves, overlapping one another. Moist acid well-drained soil, or sandy peat with moist, cool, north aspects position to keep the roots cool. |
Full Sun, Native to Alaska, British Columbia and Washington - it is found on rocky slopes in arctic and alpine tundra, often near waterfalls, streams or generally moist areas. Companions - |
Use in Rock garden, on a peat bank, or in open areas in woodland. We have no trouble growing them here at sea level in our maritime climate. The places where they have done the best for us are in morning sun exposure. Those placed in the afternoon sun never do as well as they get too hot at the root ball. |
