More Information About Anemone
The etymology of the name anemone is unclear. It possibly came from the Greek "anemos" (wind) or from the Semitic "Naaman" (Adonis). According to myth, as Adonis lay mortally wounded, the red-flowered Anemone coronaria sprang from the ground where his blood pooled.
Anemone plants produce colorful flowers in every hue of the rainbow and growing a variety of different species ensures blooms throughout the year. Tuberous anemone species generally flower in spring, Mediterranean anemone species flower in summer and the larger, fibrous rooted anemone species flower in fall. In the language of flowers, giving anemone flowers symbolizes anticipation which is perhaps why they are a popular wedding flower.
Different types of anemone plants have different growing requirements. Some prefer sun, others shade. Some prefer sandy soils, and others prefer rich moist soils.
