The Wood Anemone is a native, perennial in Wisconsin. It grows four to eight inches tall. It bears a single white flower, 3/4 inch wide, that rises above the leaves. Each flower has five petal-like white sepals. It bears a set of whorled, deeply cut basal leaves. Each leaf has three to five coarse-toothed and pointed lobes, 1-1/4 inch long. It grows best in part or full shade in damp, rich, mucky soil. It tends to form colonies and provide ground cover in open woodlands. (EW)
