Rue Anemone is a delicate spring ephemeral of rich eastern forests, producing clusters of white to pale pink flowers on thin, wiry stems in April and May. It grows from a cluster of small tuberous roots and forms attractive colonies on the forest floor. Small native bees and solitary wasps are the primary pollinators of this diminutive wildflower.
