Japanese Anemones are fabulous late flowering perennials, blooming from August until October. Once established they are low maintenance and easy to grow.
Great in borders, cottage gardens, coastal gardens and prairie style plantings, they bring life to the late summer garden.
Plant in partial shade, although they can tolerate full sun as long as the soil is kept moist.
Add garden compost or aged manure when planting.
Japanese Anemones can take a couple of years to establish, but once they do, they can spread rapidly. Remove unwanted shoots to ensure they don’t take over your beds!
