The lovely Mediterranean bulb, Anemone pavonina is flowering in the crevice garden this week. Native to very rocky, dry soils from The Balkans to Turkey, and naturalized in France and Italy, Anemone pavonina flowers near the end of winter, providing a welcome jolt of color after the worst of winter has passed. From seed, flower color ranges from pink to red to purple. Hardiness Zone 6b-9b.
