Thought to be a cross between autumn-flowering Anemone hupehensis and spring-flowering Anemone rupicola, 'Wild Swan' is an exciting new anemone, which flowers intermittently from May to November.
Each flower petal has a distinct grey-blue streak on the underside, so when flowers are in bud or half closed, they look look bluish, but open fully to pure white.
Anemone 'Wild Swan' is ideal for growing in partial shade, such as woodland gardens or beneath trees and shrubs. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering and mulch around the base of plants in early spring with well-rotted manure or compost.
