The narcissus anemone, Anemone narcissiflora subsp. crinita, is grown predominantly for its gorgeous flowers that open in late spring and early summer. Each bloom consists of a collar of white sepals, surrounding a centre of golden-yellow sepals.

In its native Siberia and Mongolia, this species grows on sunny alpine meadows, grassy mountainsides and forest margins. In the garden it will thrive in a relatively cool spot with other alpine perennials – they reputedly perform particularly well in coastal gardens.

For best results, grow Anemone narcissiflora subsp. crinita in full sun or partial shade in moist, well-drained soil. Collect the seeds as soon as they're ripe in late summer, and sow straight away. Look out for germination the following spring.
