Anemone (Windflowers)
21 products
Anemones provide early-season nectar for emerging pollinators like the red-tailed bumblebee (Bombus lapidarius) and the hairy-footed flower bee (Anthophora plumipes). Their open blooms are easily accessible to hoverflies, including the common drone fly (Eristalis tenax), while their foliage shelters ground beetles and spiders. Wood anemones (Anemone nemorosa), a UK native species, are particularly valuable, supporting the caterpillars of the wood white butterfly (Leptidea sinapis). Plant spring-flowering anemones in dappled shade under trees, where they naturalise beautifully, or opt for autumn-blooming varieties to extend nectar availability. Their delicate flowers offer both ecological value and woodland charm.
