The velvety, dark plum petals of the Bordeaux Anemone are magnificent enough for royalty. Their vibrant purple centers attract pollinators, especially butterflies, and blooms last for up to a month in the garden. These cup-shaped flowers sit atop sturdy 8- to 12-inch stems with feathery leaves and make excellent cut flowers. Easy to grow, these gems should be placed in an area where they are sure to get enough light and are in clear view of admirers.
