Tall anemone prefers moist, humusy sandy soil and tolerates full shade but prefers some sun. This anemone is not as aggressive as other anemones. The whitish flowers appear in late spring to early summer with a thimble-like center. This center elongates forming tall thimble-like fruits that eventually become cottony with white hairs. that persists into winter.
Use this plant in wildflower gardens, woodland edges or partial shade gardens. The sap may cause skin irritation so wear gloves to prune.
This plant is resistant to damage by deer and rabbits.
