Anemone × lipsiensis
yellow wood anemone
Anemone × lipsiensis brings a soft wash of primrose-yellow to the spring garden, just when woodland edges and shady corners are waking up. Known as the yellow wood anemone, Anemone × lipsiensis is a vigorous, rhizomatous perennial which settles in with pleasing confidence, forming natural-looking drifts beneath deciduous shrubs, trees and lightly shaded borders. Its deeply divided green leaves make a fresh, ferny carpet, above which the pale yellow flowers appear like little saucers of captured sunshine. There is nothing shouty about Anemone × lipsiensis, but it has that quietly persuasive charm which makes you wonder why every garden does not have a patch.
Once established, Anemone × lipsiensis will spread gently by rhizomes, creating an airy colony that looks beautifully at home in informal planting schemes. It is especially lovely with spring bulbs, hellebores and early foliage plants, where its colour feels warm rather than bright, elegant rather than eager. Give it humus-rich, moisture-retentive soil and dappled shade, and it will reward you with an effortlessly natural display year after year. Anemone × lipsiensis is ideal for gardeners who enjoy plants with a slightly wild spirit, but still want good manners. A dependable woodland treasure, Anemone × lipsiensis turns spring shade into something quietly luminous.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Remove the packaging straight away, check the compost and water thoroughly if dry. Check the plant’s hardiness before placing it outdoors. Plant into a border or permanent container within a month, choosing the position recommended for the variety. Keep the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil, firm gently and water well.
Soak the roots in water for three to six hours immediately before planting. Keep any crown, buds or emerging shoots above the water where possible.
Pot most bare roots into 15–20cm pots filled with peat-free multipurpose compost. Large or depth-sensitive roots, including peonies, are often best planted directly into borders.
Arrange the roots naturally without bending them. Cover the roots completely, positioning the crown and buds at the depth recommended for that particular perennial.
Keep pots in a sheltered outdoor position and water whenever the compost begins to dry. Grow on until roots hold the compost together when lifted from the pot.
Plant into a suitable border or permanent container once well rooted. Add a label and water regularly throughout the first growing season while the perennial establishes.
