JAPANESE ANEMONE
The three main species of Japanese Anemone come from China and not Japan. This is a great plant for late summer/autumn colour. Beautiful flowers are borne on tall stems and once established this plant will need plenty of room, width and height.
For a couple of years now I have been meaning to move my two plants, a job which just doesn't ever get done. I really must get around to it this Autumn, as although the plants are happy enough where they are, they are not blissfully happy. The aspect is good, in semi-shade, but the soil just isn't damp enough, which leads to many of their outer leaves to flop and frizzle up.
Every so often a seedling will appear around the adult plant, which means I am able to make a new plant for free, which makes me happy!
It's a beautiful flower and reminds me very much of the flowers on a clematis I have. I am going to add into my next years "Wish List" for new plants for my garden. Thanks for sharing!

Such a splendid flower...and the hollyhock as well. Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteFunny, I took a picture of pink Japanese anemones just this afternoon, in a garden that was planted last week. They are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this flower, your photograph is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
They are such gorgeous flowers ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat is such a striking photo Louise. You are very lucky that your plant has babies!
ReplyDeleteI really like the delicate hue.
ReplyDeletePlenty of space, I unfortunately don't have....
You are blessed to have it!
I love anemones. When I lived in Canda we had one that bloomed in the early spring. It was smaller than the normal Japanese anemones and had a white flower. My anemones aren't blooming yet. My favorite is the white one, Honorine Jobert. I have yet to see it bloom because last year the deer ate all the buds!
