Description: Rue Anemone is a native spring ephemeral that grows most abundantly on steep slopes or ridges in deep woodlands. These white or pink-petaled woodland wildflowers can grow as early as March and go dormant before summer. This Rue Anemone was photographed along the Watershed Trail next to the waterfall at Little Huckleberry Creek.
