Description
- The only swan you can ruffle without fear of a broken arm, this anemone is a must-have for any shaded woodland-style or rustic cottage garden
- From bluish buds, the ruffled, semi-double flowers open up to display linen white petals (with a pale blue reverse) and lemon yellow stamens, closing into nodding, bell-shaped blooms as evening rolls around
- If you’re looking to improve your garden’s pollinator presence, then this variety is a seriously solid pick
- We love seeing anemones like ‘Ruffled Swan’ underplanted in the dappled shade of a garden tree (alongside other woodland favourites like bluebells and primroses)
- Bred by Elizabeth MacGregor at her nursery in Scotland, ‘Ruffled Swan’ is a variation on ‘Wild Swan’, which won Plant of the Year at the 2011 RHS Chelsea Flower Show. In other words, you know this plant has pedigree!
