This member of the buttercup family (Ranunculacea) is native to most of North America, except for Alaska, the U.S west coast and the southern states. This is a great plant for naturalizing purposes, as it tends to be somewhat agressive under the right circumstances. It spreads by rhizomes as well as seed. If you don’t mind this beautiful flower popping up in random places, Anemone canadensis is a good choice. However, if you want your plants to behave and stick to the location you had intended, this plant is sure to elevate your blood pressure – It can be agressive.
