Anemonastrum flaccidum, the flaccid anemone or soft windflower, is a plant species in the family Ranunculaceae. It is a perennial growing to 0.1 m (0ft 4in).
Features
[edit]Depending on the region, it flowers between March and June. The flowers are about 2 cm in diameter with white calyx. Many stems have two flower stalks characteristically extending from one stem, and this is the origin of the plant's Japanese name (literally, 'two-flowered plant'). The plant spreads with rhizomes, and so it often forms communities.
Range
[edit]Anemonastrum flaccidum occurs naturally along the Amur River; in Sakhalin; in central, eastern and southern China; in Korea and in Japan. It is sometimes grown as an ornamental plant in places such as Sweden.
Habitat
[edit]It is found in moist places out of direct sunlight (full shade or semi-shade) and near streams and ravines in loose peaty soils.
