Anemone caerulea, commonly known as Blue Windflower or Blue Anemone, is a perennial herb native to temperate Eurasia, including regions such as Siberia and Central Asia. It is often found in meadows, steppes, and on well-drained slopes. This plant grows at a moderate rate to a typical height and width of 0.5-1 feet (0.15-0.3 meters). Blue Windflower is notable for its delicate, blue flowers that bloom in the spring, adding a splash of color to the garden. The flowers are showy and attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

Blue Windflower is valued for its ornamental flowers and is used in border plantings, rock gardens, and as a ground cover. It is relatively easy to maintain and can naturalize in suitable conditions. In cultivation, it thrives best in full sun or part shade and prefers medium or fast-draining soils, such as clay, loam, or sandy types, with consistent moisture. While generally pest-free, it can be susceptible to foliar diseases in overly wet conditions. Gardeners should be aware that all parts of the plant are toxic if ingested.CC BY-SA 4.0
