Overview
Anemone multifida, commonly known as cut-leaf anemone or red windflower, is an enchanting mountain plant from the Ranunculaceae family. This North American species features elegantly dissected foliage and long-lasting flowers in red to pink shades. Perfect for alpine gardens, rock gardens, and sunny borders.
Appearance & bloom
Anemone multifida grows in dense rosettes with finely divided, hairlike foliage appearing silky soft. From May to August, slender stems carry striking flowers in red, pink, or white, each with a yellow center. Height reaches 30-50 cm.
Ideal location
Choose full sun to lightly shaded spots with well-draining soil. This plant prefers cool environments with good air circulation. Perfect on rocky outcrops, alpine terrain, and raised borders.
Soil
Anemone multifida prefers well-drained, humus-rich soil with pH 6.0-7.5. A mixture of potting soil with gravel or grit significantly improves drainage. Poor root compaction tolerance.
Watering
Keep moist during the growing season, but avoid waterlogging. Once blooming begins, reduce watering gradually. Monitor moisture needs during active growth.

Pruning
Removing spent flowerheads encourages extended bloom. After flowering, stems can be removed. The plant goes dormant after seed set and re-emerges in spring.

Pair with other alpine species: Pulsatilla, Campanula, Saxifraga, Primula, and Dianthus. Also lovely with grasses like Festuca and sedges.
