[9] The flowers have an attractive, striking appearance with dull centers and smooth, satiny, vibrant petals.

[11] The tubers appear to be black in color and are non-uniformly shaped, small, wrinkled pellets.

[13] The native range of Anemonoides blanda extends from southeastern Europe, through Turkey and Lebanon, to western Syria in the Middle East.

[14] Anemonoides blanda should be planted in the autumn in partially shady areas, and in moist soil.

[6] It grows in any well-drained soil which dries out in summer; hence it is often used for underplanting deciduous trees which provide the necessary conditions.

[10] This plant[16] and its cultivar 'White Splendour',[17] have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

The sky-blue petals of the plant were used for dyeing purposes by boiling them to produce a light green color.

[18] It is considered to be poisonous if ingested in large quantities, and causes pain and irritation in the mouth.

Some other symptoms of being poisoned are inflammation, blistering from contact with fresh sap, vomiting, and diarrhea.
