Ruffled Swan, is the tallest growing of Swan cultivars but that is a great thing, it is nice to have a stand out in the garden. The large semi-double ruffly edged white flowers, (3.5” or 9 cm diameter) are so showy with the added signature purple on reverse banding, and of course they nod to show it off in the evening!
Try displaying with a pretty rod iron support to add some decor to your garden!

Since Anemone Wild Swan appeared to be so promising, the breeder, Elizabeth MacGregor of Scotland, has been developing variations, and now included in the Anemone Swan Series. These have more Anemone x hybrida in their breeding than ‘Wild Swan’, but have retained the clump forming and early flowering attributes, as well as the attractive deep color bands on the flower reverse.
