Anemone “Wild Swan” ™
“Wild Swan” has large 50-75mm (2-3 in.) size flowers held well above the
foliage, pure white on the face with strong blue banding on the reverse
of the petals. The flowers have a nodding habit early morning and in
the evening, so this blue banding characteristic is very showy. The flowers
open outward facing during the day. Flowering starts late April to June
and produced continuously until late autumn or frosts.
“Wild Swan” plant occurred in a planned seedling program
in a batch of Anemone seedlings. It was obvious at an early stage that it was a hybrid with much more vigor and much larger than its seed parent.
Anemone “Wild Swan”™ flowers extremely long and would be a spectacular feature in a herbaceous border, and also makes an excellent container plant.
This plant is sterile, a tissue culture essential, roots well from cuttings but little cutting material is produced and division is only possible after 3 to 4 years.
