Anemonoides sylvestris
Also called Snowdrop Windflower
Snowdrop anemone is a spring-flowering perennial from European and Asian woodland edges and meadows, with fragrant white flowers. It spreads by rhizomes and can colonize an area quickly, so give it room.
Anemonoides sylvestris (syn. Anemone sylvestris), known as snowdrop anemone or snowdrop windflower, is a perennial plant flowering in spring, native to meadows and dry deciduous woodlands of central and western Europe and temperate Asia. It forms spreading patches, sometimes aggressively spreading.
Another name is wood anemone, but this more commonly refers to the European A. nemorosa or the North American A. quinquefolia.
Anemonoides sylvestris is widespread in Central Europe, primarily in the colline to submontane zones, and increasingly in the lowlands further east. Its wide distribution ranges from France and Central Europe across the Balkans and Asia Minor to the Caucasus. From Eastern Europe, the species extends through southern Siberia to Mongolia and northern China.
