Description
A very early blooming miniature creeping species from Japan which bears attractively marked and divided leaves above which hover multi-petalled flowers of a very soft violet, which is so pale that you think they are white until you compare them with, for example, A. nemorosa.
Anemone keiskiana grows from small rhizomes, of about the size and shape of the more well-known nemorosa, but the tubers are slightly knobbly and carunculated. This means of course that Anemone keiskiana is smaller than many species but it makes a very floriferous clump if left undisturbed in half shade and a leafy soil.
