Thimbleweed Anemone virginiana

Moderate 

Doesn't always transpalent well, but grows quickly. Will likely need cold stratification if starting indoors. Sow in a bright location to sprout. Seedlings have short-root systems so require slightly more watering than when mature.

Easy
Become brown and brittle where the heads can be snapped off. Place into an envelope and store in cool, dry conditions. May need to remove the fluff from the seeds which can be time-consuming

🌅 Outdoors
Can be grown in containers but may not bloom as fully
