Anemone nemorosa ‘Vestal’

The ‘Vestal’ version of the double-flowered European wood anemones bears dapper, intricately fashioned, pure-white (what other kind of white would you expect from a vestal version?) pompons in mid-spring. Somehow “pompons” seems at odds with the other imagery going on here, but that’s the best we can come up with at this moment. Maritime/Modified continental/Continental; Europe to NW Asia. Zone 5.
