The Botany

This cultivar was first discovered in a garden in Verdun between 1858 and 1860 by Mr Jobert and was subsequently named after his daughter.

Anemone is a herbaceous perennial genus that contains over 100 species that are native to temperate habitats all over the world. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, Anemone means "daughter of the wind" in ancient Greek. The Metamorphoses of Ovid tells us that the plant was created by the goddess Venus when she sprinkled nectar on the blood of her dead lover Adonis.

Depending on the species or cultivar Anemone can flower in different colours at different times of the year. Tuberous Anemone species generally flower in spring (eg: Anemone nemorosa), Mediterranean Anemone species flower in summer (eg: Anemone coronaria) and the larger, fibrous rooted Anemone species flower in autumn(eg: Anemone hupehensis).

The Myth

THe genus name is often said to be derived from the Greek word anemos meaning wind which is why they are often referred to as 'windflowers'.
