Description / Anemone Dainty Swan Windflower
Anemone Dainty Swan brings grace and quiet drama to late-season gardens. Bred by Elizabeth MacGregor for improved garden performance, this standout variety unfurls white petals with a soft purple-pink reverse and golden-yellow centers, held on dark, contrasting stems. Blooms open upright from nodding buds, shifting with the breeze for a dynamic, layered look. At 24 inches tall and wide, its upright clumping form offers structure and texture without overwhelming nearby plants. A long bloomer from midsummer to fall, this shade perennial is a reliable source of seasonal color and movement.
Often called a windflower, Dainty Swan fits beautifully in perennial borders, cottage-style plantings, or even containers where its tidy habit and bicolor blooms add contrast and softness. The sterile hybrid flowers generously without reseeding, focusing energy on its extended bloom season. For elegant combinations, pair with companions like Astilbe, Hosta, or Heucheraideal choices for similar light and soil conditions.
This pollinator-friendly anemone grows well in full sun to part shade and thrives in rich, well-drained soil that stays consistently moist. It's hardy in USDA Zones 5-8 and stands up to deer and rabbits with ease. With compact size, graceful habit, and bicolor charm, Anemone Dainty Swan offers gardeners an elegant, low-maintenance solution for bridging summer to fall in shaded and semi-shaded spaces.
