Grecian windflower (Anemone blanda) creates a low-growing mat of cheerful, starlike blossoms in pink, blue, and white. Finely cut foliage disappears after flowering. Plant en masse (hundreds to thousands) for best effect. Requires a dry dormancy after flowering; sandy soil is a plus.
Sow seed in containers when ripe (slow, erratic). Divide autumn-flowering plants in spring or autumn; separate rhizomes/tubers when dormant. Leaf gall, downy mildew, smut, rust, caterpillars, slugs, flea beetles.
