Thimbleweed is an excellent spring flower for the shaded or woodland garden, with flowers from summer to early fall. It is a good choice for naturalized areas or native wildflower gardens. It is not an aggressive species.
A few fine, short, soft hairs grow on the plant. It has a ramified stem that grows 60 to 100 cm tall above the small leaves that grow around the flower (involucre). The stalks of the basal leaves are long. They are divided into three sections, which are further subdivided.

Anemone virginiana is easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained, sandy-humusy soil. Though it prefers in full sun to part shade, it tolerates full shade. It is not as aggressive as most other anemone species.
You can propagate thimbleweed by seeds sown in fall or early spring. Or, divide older established plants.
Meadows, borders, and fence lines are its natural habitat. Ferns, False Solomon’s seal, may apple, yellow wood poppy, amsonia, asters, and sedges are all good companion plants.
