Canada Anemone is a vigorous wildflower that spreads by rhizomes to form large colonies in moist meadows and woodland edges. Its bright white flowers appear in late spring and early summer. Bees and flies are its primary pollinators, and it provides important early-season pollen resources in disturbed and riparian areas.
