White Splendour Grecian Windflower (Anemone blanda ‘White Splendour’) brightens the garden from March to April with a profusion of pure white, star-shaped flowers highlighted by golden centres. Its finely divided, fresh green foliage forms a low, delicate carpet that beautifully showcases this early spring display. Reaching 25 to 30 cm in height, this tuberous perennial brings freshness and brightness to gardens that are only beginning to bloom. Hardy to Zone 4, it performs well in Quebec gardens and gradually naturalizes to form beautiful spring colonies over the years.

Plant the tubers in fall at a depth of approximately 5 cm, spacing them 10 to 15 cm apart. Soaking the tubers in lukewarm water for a few hours before planting helps rehydrate them and encourages faster establishment. This anemone prefers full sun to light partial shade and fertile, light, perfectly drained soil with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH. Water lightly after planting, then keep the soil evenly moist during active growth without allowing it to become waterlogged. After flowering, allow the foliage to turn yellow naturally so the tubers can replenish their reserves before entering dormancy.

Ideal for rock gardens, open woodland gardens, naturalized lawns, borders, and containers, this anemone creates an especially elegant effect when planted in groups. It pairs beautifully with crocuses, snowdrops, grape hyacinths, squills, and dwarf daffodils to create colourful displays from the first warm days of spring. Its early flowers attract bees and many other pollinators, providing an important nectar source at the beginning of the season. As it naturalizes, it forms a long-lasting, low-maintenance, and luminous spring groundcover.

Sowing guide

It all startswith a seed.

Sowing depth

5 cm (2 in)

Spacing / density

Space plants or bulbs 10 to 15 cm apart.

Sowing period

Fall

Propagation

Divide the tubers or separate colonies during dormancy. This method faithfully preserves the variety.

Growing method

Soak the tubers in lukewarm water for a few hours before planting to improve establishment. Plant them approximately 5 cm (2 in) deep in light, fertile, perfectly drained soil. Space the tubers 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6 in) apart. Choose a location in full sun during spring or light partial shade beneath deciduous trees. Water lightly after planting, then keep the soil lightly moist during active growth. Allow the plants to naturalize to create a flowering carpet over time.

Soil and care

The right care,at the right time.

Soil pH

Neutral to slightly alkaline

Minimum temperature

-34°C (-30°F)

Care level

Easy

Watering

Water lightly during active growth to keep the soil fresh without excess moisture. Reduce watering once the foliage disappears.

Soil type

Light, fertile, and perfectly drained soil. Avoid heavy or waterlogged soils.

Fertilization

Apply a small amount of compost in spring. Light fertilization is sufficient to support abundant flowering without encouraging excessive foliage growth.

Moisture

Moist to moderately dry, always well-drained soil.

Seasonal care

Allow the foliage to yellow naturally before removing it so the tubers can replenish their reserves. Water moderately during active growth. Avoid excess moisture during dormancy. Divide colonies when they become overcrowded.

Container growing

Recommended pot size

20 to 25 cm (8 to 10 in)
Suitable for containers in a free-draining mix; protect from frost when hardiness requires it.
