Common name: Windflower

Description: Anemone blanda 'Harmony Blue' is a delightful spring-flowering bulb producing a profusion of daisy-like sky-blue flowers with golden yellow centres from late winter to mid-spring. The ferny, deeply cut foliage creates an attractive backdrop for the dainty blooms. A naturalising plant that spreads freely over time, it is excellent for underplanting trees and shrubs, rockeries, or the front of borders. After flowering, the foliage dies back tidily, leaving space for summer plants.

Other benefits: naturalises well, great for underplanting, early spring colour
