This flowering plant is all over a country park where I work. They
have blue and white flowers.

Anemone blanda 'Blue Shades'. A cultivated anemone.

AKA winter windflower. Lots of images he http://tinyurl.com/qxla9hr
And, as you have observed, they naturalise well in part shade.
I have a good patch, which is a solid mass of blue in spring.
They do self-seed, but are not a major problem.
I have twice planted this in my garden for it to disappear immediately.
My soil is 60% sand.

Nick Maclaren.
