Also Known As - Tall ThimbleweedThe Virginia Anemone (Anemone virginiana var. cylindroidea) is a perennial wildflower that is native to eastern North America.

The Virginia Anemone flowers in late spring until the first frost. It prefers moist, well-drained soils and prefers partial to full sun and enjoys the protection of trees, shrubs, and other taller plants. The Virginia Anemone is an excellent choice for gardens or natural areas as it is a sturdy and hardy species.

watering
The Virginia Anemone needs to be watered thoroughly and consistently. Water the plant when the soil surface feels dry to the touch; during the summer months, the soil should be kept moist, but never soggy. Water the Virginia Anemone from the bottom (in the sink or a deep bowl) until water runs freely from the drainage holes. Allow the plant to drain and then return the plant to its pot. During the winter months, allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
sunlight
Virginia Anemone (Anemone virginiana var. cylindroidea) requires full to partial sunlight to thrive. The plant should have at least 4 to 5 hours of direct sunlight a day to remain healthy and vigorous. Virginia Anemone should be placed in an area that receives sun in the morning, sheltering from the afternoon sun. When planted within a landscape, it should be given space so that it is not over-shadowed by other plants or trees. This plant species will benefit from morning sun and indirect, filtered light during the hottest part of the day.
pruning
Prune Virginia Anemone (Anemone virginiana var. cylindroidea) in late spring after flowering has finished. Deadheading the spent flower stalks is the main maintenance required. If the foliage looks untidy, lightly prune after flowering to tidy up the plants. This will encourage basal branching, producing denser, more attractive clumps. Divisions can also be taken at this time if desired.
