What a sweet little spring flower. I have grown Anemone blanda (also known as the Winter Windflower) in a small tub and it is flowering beautifully. I've never grown them before. It's always good to try new things in gardening and that is part of the pleasure of it. Some you win and some you lose.

| Anemone Blanda |
According to the RHS, Anemone blanda is not fussy about soil conditions but should be well-drained, it tolerates full sun or partial shade (mine are in full sun), exposed or sheltered positions, any aspect but north, and is fully hardy (H6) down to -20C. It achieves a height and spread of up to 0.5 metres (about 20in). It flowers in spring and, being herbaceous, loses its foliage in winter.
