Blooming in early summer, Tall Thimbleweed provides a burst of color to the spring landscape.  It is an airy plant -- not too tall -- that blooms on slender stems above dark-green foliage.
 
     After the flower fades, green fruit clusters remain, eventually turning into a showy, fluffy mass of seeds.
 
     Tall Thimbleweed thrives in dry, rocky soils and part shade.  It is not as aggressive as other Anemones and makes a great ground cover for areas between trees and other shady sites.  You can even plant it under your Black Walnut.
