"Anemone coronaria" (poppy anemone, Spanish marigold, "Kalanit" in Hebrew) is a species of flowering plant in the genus "Anemone", native to the Mediterranean region.

It is a herbaceous perennial plant growing to 20-40 cm tall (rarely to 60 cm), with a basal rosette of a few leaves, the leaves with three leaflets, each leaflet deeply lobed. The flowers are borne singly on a tall stem with a whorl of small leaves just below the flower; the flower is 3-8 cm diameter, with 5-8 red, white or blue petal-like tepals.

The Anemone coronaria is one of the most well known and beloved flowers in Israel. During the British Mandate of Palestine British soldiers were nicknamed "Kalaniyot" for their red berrets.

Cultivation

It is widely grown for its decorative flowers. Numerous cultivars have been selected and named, the most popular being the De Caen group of cultivars.
