description
The crown anemone is a perennial plant that reaches heights of growth of 8 to 25 (rarely up to 30) centimeters. Their survival organs are bulbous or briefly cylindrical. The basal leaves are in three parts, their sections are stalked and slit twice. The stem leaves are widened at the base and divided irregularly. The flowers have a diameter of 3 to 8 (rarely up to 10) centimeters. Most of the 5 to 8 petals are silk-haired on the underside, scarlet, blue, purple, less often pink or white. The anthers are blue or purple. Flower color, leaf cut, flower size and phenology are very variable.
The flowering period extends from December to May.
The number of chromosomes is 2n = 16.
distribution
The crown anemone is native to the Mediterranean . It grows on rock corridors, in garrigues , on meadows, on fallow fields as well as in vineyards and olive groves at altitudes of 0 to 700 meters (rarely up to 1200 meters).
use
The crown anemone is rarely used as an ornamental plant for alpine houses , pot culture in cold boxes, rock gardens in winter-mild areas and as a cut flower . The species has been in culture since 1596. The cultivated forms are very variable in leaf shape, flower size and flower color. There are numerous varieties with simple flowers (e.g. 'De Caen' hybrids), semi-double flowers (e.g. St. Birgit 'hybrids) and double flowers.
