Anemone is a genus of about 120 species of perennial flowering plants.
The flower stem bears one or several beautiful flowers, with an involucre of three leaflets below each flower, giving this plant an spectacular appearance.
Anemone can grow from 10 cm to 1,5 metres (4 inches to 5 ft) tall.
The plant likes moist, but well drained soil. Anemones have a wide pH tolerance, from acid to neutral and alkaline.
Anemone has been used as a remedy to treat headaches, gout, cramps and menstrual problems.
It is rarely used today because all the varieties are poisonous in some degrees.
They are one of the most popular flowers to be used in wedding arrangements.
