Alpine Anemone
Anemone drummondii var. lithophila
Alpine Anemone (Anemone drummondii var. lithophila) is a beautiful specimen with delicate white petals and a yellow center. Found growing in the alpine fields of western North America, this perennial wildflower can reach heights of 8 inches. Its distinctive yellow-tinted foliage provides a striking contrast against its white petals, which give off a beautiful aroma in the sunny afternoon. Not only does this plant attract butterflies and bees, it is also highly drought and cold hardy, making it a great addition to gardens in cold climates.
