Flowers come in violet-blue, red or white, and each has a striking dark centre, as if the flower is an eye gazing up at you. Native to the Mediterranean, they like sunny, well-drained areas in the garden, and work best if planted in autumn ready to bloom in Spring. Their scientific name, 'anemone', is usually said to derive from Greek 'anemos', wind, however there is no evident connection and it's likely that this is a faux etymology. The original name was possibly from Adonis, whose blood the flowers were said to have sprung from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" dir=\"ltr\" border=\"1\" data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"width: 100.088%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e \u003ccol width=\"97\" style=\"width: 26.4184%;\"\u003e \u003ccol width=\"92\" style=\"width: 25%;\"\u003e \u003ccol width=\"178\" style=\"width: 48.5816%;\"\u003e \u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Perennial\"}'\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ePerennial\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Flower: clustered flowers on taller stems\"}'\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFlower: clump forming\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Flowers June to August\"}'\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFlowers in spring, foliage spring till summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eScientific Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cem\u003eAnemone coronaria\u003c\/em\u003e (garland wind flower \/ Adonis-flower)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCommon Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eGarden Anemone, Irish Anemone, Poppy Windflower, St. Brigid's Anemone, Poppy Anemone\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eNative around the Mediterranean, across: Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece, the Northwest Balkans, Albania Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Türkiye, Libya, Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, and many Mediterranean islands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePruning Tips\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eNo pruning required; best to let these die back naturally and rest till the next year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWildlife Value\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eThese Anemones are pollinated by a variety of insects, including bees, flies and beetles, and especially the Glaphyridae beetle family.
