Rue Anemone may be
easily confused with:
- Round-Lobed Hepatica
Although the blooms are similar, the leaves are distintly different. Hepatica leaves are large with 3 distinct lobes. Anemone leaves are smaller and slightly scalloped.
- Wood Anemone
The leaves on the rue anemone have rounded lobes, while the leaves on the wood anemone are sharp toothed.
We started out as wildflowers from the bicycle trails of western Pennsylvania, but we've
grown!
