Japanese Anemone

Graceful Blooms for the Late Garden

Just when the garden starts to look tired in September, Japanese Anemone (Anemone hupehensis) steals the show. It sends up tall, wiry stems topped with delicate, poppy-like flowers in pink or white. These sway beautifully in the wind, adding a sense of movement and lightness to the fall landscape.

Why You Need It:

  • Late Season Star: Blooms profusely from late summer until hard frost.
  • Elegant Habit: The flowers float high above the foliage, creating a "cloud" effect.
  • Shade Tolerant: One of the best fall-blooming perennials for part shade.

Planting Tips:

Plant in Part Shade with rich, moist soil. Be patient; they can be slow to establish, but once happy, they spread to form a lovely colony.
