Anemonella thalictroides 'Rosea' The only member of its genus,
rue anemone is a tuberous perennial native to the woodlands of
eastern North America. 'Rosea' has pink, fragile, cup-shaped
flowers on slender stems from spring to early summer, a long
bloom sesaon for a spring wildflower. It often goes dormant in
summer. Its flowers resemble a small anemone and its leaves
resemble Thalictrum (meadow rue), hence its common name of "rue
anemone." Use this delicate, small plant in a shady rock garden,
in a woodland or native plant garden, or as underplanting in a
shady shrub border
