Anemone Dainty Swan Windflower

Anemone Dainty Swan Windflower brings graceful color and movement to shaded garden spaces with its distinctive bicolor blooms. Measuring 24 inches tall and wide, this compact variety features elegant white petals with a soft purple-pink reverse, rising on dark stems above rich green foliage. Buds nod downward before opening upright, creating dynamic contrast and visual interest. Blooming from midsummer through fall, it delivers a refined presence across multiple seasons, particularly in woodland or cottage-style gardens.

Perfect for beds, borders, and containers, Dainty Swan performs exceptionally well in partially shaded environments and adds sophistication to layered plantings. Its compact size and long bloom period make it suitable for smaller gardens or as a standout among shade-loving perennials. Pair it with companions such as Hosta, Astilbe, and Heuchera to build texture, color, and extended visual appeal.

Adaptable and resilient, Anemone Dainty Swan Windflower prefers consistent moisture and well-drained, nutrient-rich soils. It thrives in full sun to part shade, with afternoon shade recommended in hot climates. Bred by Elizabeth MacGregor for garden performance, this sterile hybrid won't reseed, ensuring tidy growth and reliable blooming. Resistant to deer and rabbits, and attractive to bees, it offers a lasting blend of charm and durability for curated perennial plantings.
