Anemone Blanda 'Blue Shades' is a delightful early spring flowering bulb, producing masses of daisy-like blooms in beautiful shades of soft blue and lavender with bright golden centres. These low-growing flowers create a colourful carpet from March to April, making them ideal for brightening patio pots, containers, rockeries and the front of borders. Their delicate appearance is matched by their hardy nature, returning year after year when left undisturbed.

Part of the Patio Collection, Anemone Blanda 'Blue Shades' is perfect for creating natural-looking displays in containers or beneath deciduous trees and shrubs. The compact plants blend beautifully with miniature daffodils, crocuses and muscari, providing a vibrant early spring display while also attracting bees and other pollinators.
