Anemone nemorosa ‘Royal Blue’ is a quietly exquisite woodland anemone, offering refined lavender-blue flowers with a neat yellow eye from March to May. Low, carpeting and naturally graceful, it slips effortlessly beneath shrubs and deciduous trees, softening the spring garden with an understated, blue-toned haze.
Once flowering has finished, the plant retreats and becomes dormant, leaving space for later companions—an elegant choice for layered planting in shady borders and woodland-style schemes. Given time, it settles in and forms a pleasing colony for naturalistic drifts.
- Spring colour in shade — lavender-blue blooms with a fresh yellow centre
- Ideal for naturalising — rhizomatous habit suits woodland planting and underplanting
- Easy and dependable — fully hardy, and best in humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil
