Despite its common name, this low-growing beauty is native to much of North America, including Ohio. Pure white, cup-shaped flowers bloom in April-June, floating above large, striking leaves.
Found growing naturally in meadows and along lakes and stream banks. Commonly used as a ground cover or erosion control in low lying or moist areas. Can be used in place of barberry, pachysandra, vinca and mulch.
Plant Characteristics:
Spreads vigorously by seeding and rhizomes, reaching heights of 1-2’ tall.
Plant in full to part sun. Shorter and better behaved in shady, dry sites.
Moist to well-drained soil; happily grows in clay, loam and sandy soils.
Wildlife Value:
Attracts both butterflies and numerous species of bees and other pollinators, and is especially enjoyed by moths. A host plant for veiled grass and one-lined Sparganothis moths, and attracts parasitoid wasps that prey on the numerous insect visitors.
Medicinal, Edible Other Uses:
Native Americans used the plant as a styptic and astringent for wounds and skin abrasions.
Like all anemones, Canada anemone contains toxic irritants, so those who choose to imbibe should be very familiar with precautions.
