'Windflower' and 'Wood anemone' are common names for 'Anemone quinquefolia'. The beautiful wildflower gets its names for two very practical reasons. One is the way in which the plant's three leaves, slender stalks and delicate blooms bend and dance with the slightest of breezes. Another is the way in which the plant favors locations around the roots of trees in open woods and along hillsides. So it's a ground cover that cheerily, colorfully and comfortably shares space with shrubs and trees.
