Anemone nemorosa 'Green Fingers'

Anemone nemorosa 'Green Fingers'

A delightful and whimsical cultivar, Anemone nemorosa 'Green Fingers' is a true showstopper in the woodland garden. Its delicate white petals, wider than typical for the species, surround a captivating central tuft of tiny, frond-like leaves in lieu of the usual anthers and styles. Originally discovered by Molly Sanderson in Ireland, 'Green Fingers' is a must-have for those seeking a touch of magic in their shade gardens.

'Green Fingers' thrives in moist, well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. It prefers partial to full shade locations, as too much direct sunlight can cause the plant to wilt and the delicate flowers to fade. This cultivar is hardy and can tolerate temperatures down to around -20°C to -25°C. Consistent moisture is essential during the growing season, but the plant can tolerate some dryness once established. It is an excellent choice for naturalizing in woodland gardens or shaded areas.

To create a captivating and complementary display, consider pairing Anemone nemorosa 'Green Fingers' with other shade-loving plants that offer contrasting textures and forms. Epimedium (Barrenwort) contributes delicate, wiry stems with interesting foliage and fairy-like flowers, creating a lovely understory for the anemone. Asarum canadense (Canadian Wild Ginger) provides a low-growing, evergreen groundcover with heart-shaped leaves, creating a lush and verdant backdrop for the anemone's white blooms. Disporum cantoniense (Chinese Fairy Bells) offers arching stems with delicate, bell-shaped flowers, adding a whimsical touch to the planting scheme. Finally, Dicentra formosana cultivars (Bleeding Heart) contributes its unique, heart-shaped flowers, complementing the anemone's frond-like centre with its delicate and intricate form.
