About

Anemone drummondii is a species of flowering plant in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae, known by the common name Drummond's anemone. It is native to mountains in western North America.

Where it grows

Anemone drummondii is native to western North America from California to Alaska. It is found in mountainous environments such as the Cascade Range, Sierra Nevada, and the Rocky Mountains, extending from open coniferous forests to rocky slopes at alpine elevations. In the Wenatchee Mountains of Washington State it is notable for being tolerant of rocky serpentine soils, in some places comprising the dominant species on steep serpentine slopes.
