Anemone sylvestris is naturally found in central and western Europe growing in meadows and amongst dry deciduous woodland from sea level to an altitude of 2500 m (7,500 ft). 

It prefers a semi-shaded to dappled light protected position but will tolerate full sun and grows in well drained organic rich moist soils that are tending acidic with a pH 5.5-6.8 and is frost, drought, rabbit and deer resistant and spreads rapidly by suckers. 

The Snowdrop Anemone is grown for its spreading habit and flowers. It is planted small cottage or alpine gardens along the borders or used as a ground cover. It is also planted in woodland settings and is suitable for coastal and low-mountain regions. It establishes from division in one season and the plant can be grown in containers or on roof gardens and the flowers and seed heads are used in floral arrangements. ID 3519
