Spring Bulbs & Plants

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

Anemone nemorosa ‘Robinsoniana’ is a quietly exquisite wood anemone, treasured for its soft lavender-blue spring flowers with a cool, greyish-cream reverse. Held neatly above finely cut, mid-green foliage, it creates that effortless woodland charm—natural, refined, and wonderfully at home beneath shrubs and deciduous trees.

Rhizomatous and fully hardy, it will settle in gently and broaden into a graceful drift over time—particularly in humus-rich soil that stays moist yet well-drained. An elegant choice for dappled shade, and a most becoming underplanting for spring displays.

• Colour: Lavender-blue with greyish-cream reverse
• Flowering: March–May
• Height: 20cm
• Position: Dappled shade (Partial Sun)
• Planting time: September–December

Anemone nemorosa 'Blue Eyes' is a particularly refined wood anemone, offering crisp white, double blooms, each neatly finished with a violet-blue eye. Designed by nature for dappled shade, it settles happily beneath deciduous shrubs and along woodland edges, where it will return each spring with quiet assurance.

Plant the rhizomes in autumn into humus-rich soil and allow them to naturalise over time. It is especially charming threaded through shady borders, or used as a gentle groundcover in informal plantings.

• White, double flowers with a violet-blue centre
• Ideal for woodland gardens, underplanting and naturalising
• Fully hardy and easy to grow in moist, well-drained ground
