After having obtained the prestigious 'Chelsea 2011 Plant of the Year' award I have had my fingers crossed hoping to see WS on this side of the pond...sooner rather than later.

And it seems that maybe this is the season that we will see it in North American gardens as Monrovia shows it on their site:

What do you think?

No- NW England. I was despatched to Elizabeth MacGregor's when we saw they were in stock. Mrs W saw it on TV when it was shown at Chelsea and it became a must have plant for her. In the flesh it is a superb plant.

So Tony, 2013 will be its first full season in your garden? Can you tell yet if it has survived the winter with you? And let us know when it puts out its first bloom.


As I recall Monrovia lists its hardiness as zone 6. This is much more tender than traditional late flowering Anemones. I wonder why the difference. Even so I will for sure try a couple if I can find a source this season.

Tony, how many WS did you buy last fall? In what sun aspect did you place them?
