This wonderful form of wood anemone has soft lilac flowers in early spring, forming a carpet of blooms in shaded areas where the soil does not dry out too much. It was selected by a clergyman in Oxfordshire and is one of my favourite forms.<br> <br> Please note that pots supplied in summer and early autumn will have loose rhizomes in compost, these will form fibrous roots as autumn progresses an can be planted out then.
