How To Grow Japanese Anemones
Japanese Anemones, Windflowers, Anemone tomentosa, Grapeleaf Anemones, Anemone x hybrida
Native to China, Anemones have been cultivated in Japan for hundreds of years. They consist of the species Anemone hupehensis, Anemone hybrida, Anemone tomentosa and Anemone vitifolia, as well as their subspecies and cultivars. Most of current cultivars are attributed to Anemone hupehensis and Anemone hybrida.
Well suited for borders, cottage gardens, coastal gardens or naturalized areas such as prairies or meadows, Japanese Anemones bring life in the late summer garden and persist to contribute to the crescendo of fall.
- Japanese Anemones thrive in partial shade. However, please note that too much shade can result in leggy plants that flop over more readily. Full sun is tolerated as long as the soil is kept moist.
- Japanese Anemones perform best in rich, humusy, evenly moist, well-drained soils. When planting them, add garden compost or aged manure to the soil and do not let it dry out.
- Avoid excessive winter wet. Add mulch each season to maintain soil moisture, keep weeds away and ensure winter survival in cold winter areas.
