anemonák

Anemonák, commonly known as windflowers, are herbaceous perennial plants belonging to the genus Anemone in the buttercup family, Ranunculaceae. They are native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, with a few species found in other areas. The name "anemone" is derived from the Greek word for "wind," referring to the delicate nature of their flowers which often sway in the breeze.

These plants are characterized by their attractive, solitary flowers that typically bloom in spring or early summer, though some species have autumnal blooms. Flower colors vary widely depending on the species and cultivar, ranging from white, pink, and red to purple and blue. Anemone flowers are often cup-shaped or saucer-shaped and can be simple or double. The leaves are usually basal and palmately lobed or divided.

Anemonák are popular in gardens for their decorative qualities and are often planted in borders, rock gardens, or as ground cover. They generally prefer well-drained soil and a location that receives partial shade, although some species can tolerate full sun. Propagation is typically done through division of rhizomes or by seed. Many species are known for their ability to spread, forming colonies over time. Some anemone species are toxic, containing protoanemonin, which can cause skin irritation.
