A. ageratifolia, A. chrysocoma, A. clavennae, A. x kelleri, A. myrtifolia, A. umbellata, A. tomentosa. Speading mats or low clumps. Some with grey foliage, some with white flowers, some yellow.
Aconitum cammarum 'Stainless Steel'	Metallic Blue		June, July, August, September Clump-forming	36-42 x 12 (90-105 x 30)	Deeply-cut Dark Green	Japanese Painted Fern (Athyrium nipponicum) and Deer Fern (Blechnum spicant) make good companions, as well as Grasses, Astrantia, Astilbe, Actaea and Eupatorium. Other Companions from Perennial Resource.	An excellent cut flower, unique for its large, draped sepal. Perfect to use in borders or at the woodland's edge.

Best sheltered in locations sheltered from strong winds. Requires support structure (Birch branch?)	Adds architectural height and late summer bloom to a shaded part of the border or shade garden. Also effective in woodland gardens, cottage gardens and naturalized areas. Best in groups, although single plants have good specimen value once established. Try it at the back of a border, between evergreens.	Actaea Perennial Herbaceous. Clump-forming. Shade, Best in moist woodland. A. spicata, A. pachypoda var alba, A. rubra var arguta, A. triplinervis A. triplinervis 'Summer Snow'.

								Allium
								Anchusa
Androsace bulleyana	Scarlet		Jun Mat-Form	4-12 x 4 (10-30 x 10)	2-4 inch (5-10 cm) wide basal prostrate rosette of grey-green. Leaves leathery spatulate with hairy margins from which on a 6-inch stem are borne the flowers.	A high alpine species is native from gravelly slopes, valleys; 1800-3200 metres in North-West Yunnan of China. A meagre, very gritty soil and a position in a chink between rocks helps to keep the plants compact.	Equal parts of loam, leafmould and sand. This is a suitable mixture for plants which require a light, open, porous soil with good drainage. Use in vertical sections of cliff-crevices and dry stone walls, on a scree bed or as pot plants for the alpine house.	Androsace Part Shade where summers are hot. Evergreen Sub-Shrub. A. lanuginosa, A. l. var. leichlinii, A. primuloides, A. primuloides var. chumbi, A. sarmentosa, A. chamaejasme, A. villosa, A. pyrenaica, A. vandelli. See Rock Garden Plant Index A for further details.
Anemone coronaria 'de Caen' (Anemone bucharica, Florist Anemones, Poppy Anemone, Windflower)	Red, Blue or White	4 petalled star shape bloom	Mar-Jun Spreading. Floret Where soil is not moist, soaking the tubers in lukewarm water for about 24 hours will speed start of growth. Once started, plants must be given adequate moisture until flowering is past and foliage begins to die down.	12 x 6 (30 x 15) Natural habitat is sandy soil enriched by leaf mould in established woodlands, where they receive both full sun and part shade. In light sandy soils an addition of peat with bone meal and dried blood helps.	Dark Green Does not grow well in gardens in cooler climates, prefers warmth. Ok outside in South of England and Holland. Plant tubers 3 inches (7.5 cm) deep and spaced about 3 inches apart in bold drifts in Sep-Oct for spring-flowering; Mar/Apr for Jun-Jul flowering; May-Jun for Sep flowering. Between June and August, lift and divide tubers after foliage has died down every 2 or 3 years.	Well-drained Chalk, Sand Full Sun Moist. Mulch with fallen autumn leaves to provide frost protection and food during the winter with moisture retension in the summer. This is the cut flower of early spring found at the florist. Suitable Anemones for the Rock garden:- Anemone alpina Anemone apennina Anemone blanda Anemone coronaria Anemone fulgens Anemone hepatica Anemone hortensis Anemone narcissiflora Anemone nemerosa Anemone pratensis Anemone pulsatilla Anemone sulphurea Anemone sylvestris	Pans in Alpine House, Rock Garden. Must be given protection of frames or greenhouses in colder areas. Companions:- Alyssum, Arabis, Aster alpinus, Centaurea dealbata, Coreopsis, Digitalis, Gypsophila paniculata, Hemerocallis (yellow cultivars), Iris (rhizomatous white and yellow cultivars), Kniphofia (yellow cultivars). Underplant Peonies (white and yellow cultivars), Verbascum, Rhododendron species, Cotoneaster, Berberis, Acer palmatum, Deutzia gracilis and Weigela.	Anemone Full Sun, Part Shade. Deciduous Tuber. 3 Groups - 1. Poppy Anemone, then A. coronaria, A. hortensis, A. pavonina See further details about Anemones in Allium Anemone Gallery. My suggestion for Anemones in the UK: Plant in 6 inch (15 cm) pot and plunge in outside bed after frost has passed, let them flower and then lift them and place in cold frost-free greenhouse during the winter without watering them.
Anemone hupehensis (Japanese Anemone, Hupeh Anemone, Japanese Thimbleweed, Chinese Common Name is da po wan hua hua)	White, Pink or Purple The whites look hand-some with lots of green foliage. Combine with spring bulbs because the leaves emerge late.	Clump and Spreader. 5 petalled star shape bloom	Aug-Sep	36-48 x 18 (90-120 x 45)	2-8 inch (5-20 cm) long, 2-6 inch (5-15 cm) wide basal Green leaves with lower surface pale Green	Well-drained Acidic Sand is preferred - will tolerate fertile chalky soil. Part Shade Moist or Wet In China is native and naturalized on scrub, grassy slopes and streamsides in hill regions.	Underplant Rosa glauca and fruit trees. Use on slopes and streamsides. Good Companions - Japanese anemones mix well with many vibrant autumn flowers, including Aster 'Little Carlow' and Aster laevis 'Calliope'.	Anemone Full Sun, Part Shade. Deciduous Tuber. 3 Groups - 2. Japanese Anemone, A. hupehensis and

List of Perennials by Flower Colour - White
from Landscaping with Perennials by Emily Brown. 5th printing 1989 by Timber Press. ISBN 0-88192-063-0
Her ideas about Perennials (a plant that lasts for more than 2 growing seasons) include Herbaceous Perennials and Evergreen Perennials, and most of the other plant types except Annuals and Biennials:-

vegetables (Asparagus - It is widely cultivated as a herbaceous vegetable crop, Crambe),
true sedge (Carex),
bamboo (Arundinaria),
subshrub (Eriogonum),
reed (Arundo),
shrubs (Artemisia - Hardy Herbaceous Plants and Shrubs, Rubus - Most of these plants have woody stems with prickles like roses),
"Mostly large shrubs or trees" (Aralia)
fern (Adiantum),
climber (Clematis) and
bulb (Lilium - genus of herbaceous flowering plants growing from bulbs)
as well.

In this Wildflower Flower Shape Gallery, all the above Plant Types together with Annuals and Biennials of the Wildflowers will be used as well.

Evergreen Perennial Name is Royal Blue.

Need to be protected from competition in the root zone. Plants disappear by midsummer (Summer dormant), earlier if they don't get enough moisture. Remove dead foliage and mark location of plants; even when dormant, they need to be kept moist. Tubers may rot in very wet soils like clay or alongside streams, rivers or lakes.

Grow in a woodland garden, underplanting in a shady shrub border or a rock garden. See Nursery of Perennials, Ferns and Bulbs for Shade for other plants to put in the shade.

Native in woodlands within Eastern USA.

Photos - with its link; provides a link to its respective Plant Photo Gallery in this website to provide comparison photos.
Click on required comparison page and then centre of selected plant thumbnail. Further details on that plant will be shown in a separate Plant Description webpage.
Usually the Available from Mail Order Plant Nursery link will link you to the relevant page on that website.
I started this website in 2005 - it is possible that those particular links no longer connect, so you may need to search for that plant instead.

When I started, a click on the centre of the thumbnail ADDED the Plant Description Page, now I CHANGE the page instead. Mobile phones do not allow ADDING a page, whereas stand alone computers do. The User Guidelines Page shows which Plant Photo Galleries have been modified to CHANGE rather than ADD.
