Sown any at all?
AGS and SRGC (sorry) seed exchange Anemone have been a lucky dip over the past couple of years.

Post by: Diane Clement on May 27, 2016, 11:37:58 AM: Most misnamed Anemone seed from seed exchanges is actually A multifida

Quite so, Diane. Anemone multifida looks likely here too, I think.

Post by: shelagh on June 01, 2016, 09:56:36 AM: Yes I think that must be the answer although the clump I found in the garden from Anemone seed 2 years ago looks slightly more buff than yellow. Anyhow mystery solved thanks to you all.

Anemone multifida comes in lots of colours from white to yellow and pink, I suspect that's part of the reason it gets confused for all sorts of other things in seed donations, including quite frequently Pulsatilla, which of course has very different seed.
