Anemone x lipsiensis Stiby

New hybrid for us on this site. Much admired woodland perennial for partial shade or shady moist soils. Foliage on this species is dissected into finger-like growths, only one leaf per petiole. The stem resides below the soil surface and is dark brown in colour. Multiplication is by division of these rhizomes. Flowers are daisy-like and around 2 cms wide or so. Each is composed of a boss of pale yellow stamens and ray florets of a pale yellow colour, similar to x lipsiensis but lighter - but not as light as x.l. Pallida!. This does have a bracteate habit with the petals occasionally extending out like a leaf. These can often last for two to three weeks if the weather conditions are cool. Overall flowering period is around eight weeks long.

Supplied as several rhizomes in a 9cm pot.
