Our native Wood Anemone is Anemone nemorosa which is often grown in gardens in its native form and also selections which have bigger flowers or are tinged with blue or pink. Do you have A. nemorosa as a common garden plant in US? I know A. quinquefolia is a kind of smaller and later plant which is otherwise quite like A. nemorosa. Is A. deltoidea similar as well, and are either of these two grown as garden plants? Janet
