Rue Anemone is a native, perennial wildflower found in Wisconsin. It grows four to 16 inches tall. The white flowers are 1/2 to 3/4 inch across. The flowers consist of 5 petal-like sepals surrounding numerous yellow stamens. The leaves are compound and two or three times divided. Each leaflet is toothless, hairless, and deeply lobe into two or three parts. The lobes have a tiny point at the tip. Basal leaves have long stalks, while stem leaves become shorter as they ascend the stalk. False Rue Anemone thrives in moist woods, wood edges\, and floodplains with rich, loamy soil. It prefers partial shade and often forms colonies from short rhizomes. (EW)
