Spring-blooming anemones are usually ephemeral, but not this beauty. The foliage gives it away – it’s nothing like the ferny leaves of the fleeting spring bulb varieties. “Dawn” resembles the fall-blooming types in both form and foliage. She boasts lovely, rich pink blooms that appear a bit later in spring, rising above attractive mounds of dark green leaves. At 14–18 inches tall, she’s perfect for planting just behind your low-growing front-of-the-border plants.
