Dear Jane, >RE: Anemone biflora It is, however, hardy to at least 20 F. I wish I could find more accurate information about this plant, growing conditions, hardiness, availability etc. I'd love to try it here. Anemone nemorosa cvs are blooming here now. This is a great garden plant. I agree the multi-petalled, green and mop head types are not especially to my liking. But it and A ranunculoides are real treats this time of year. On a vaguely related note, Can anyone suggest a source for single-flowered Ranunculus? Like the florist R. asiaticus of whatever this species really is, but with single flowers. I have seen these growing and love them, but where can you buy tubers? Which also reminds me of Ranunculus 'Brazen Hussy' blooming now in rounded clumps with shiny bright yellow flowers against deep dark foliage. Brazen indeed! Thanks Jim -- Dr. James W.
