An elite selection.
This product is currently out of stock and unavailable.
Bright white, single flowers with a defining crown of golden stamens. For ease of care, impact and versatility this is one of our favourite plants. They will grow well with just 4 hours of sun a day, but can cope with more if kept watered. ‘Elite’ is a more compact and free flowering variety than the standard form and well worth a grow.
The flowers open on narrowly branched stems over lush, deep green foliage. Japanese Anemones will quickly grow to form a healthy clump and the seed can be left to self sow or collected. They are a good choice for adding height to a border and really don’t make too many demands. Try them beneath trees, along edges (mine are in a narrow low light pathway along the house), in large pots, massed in shady spot or even in the cutting garden.
The longer Japanese Anemones have to establish, the more flowers you will be able to enjoy. Then, even after the flowers have faded, the seed heads remain decorative and can be left to extend the show.
Plant Japanese Anemone in moist, humus rich, well drained soil. They grow best in morning sun or part shade, though with a bit of extra water will succeed in sun. A light application of fertiliser in spring will help encourage the best blooms. Water to establish, then only if rainfall is low. They are incredibly versatile, tolerating moist soils and dry soils once established.
Cut back Japanese Anemones in winter when they become untidy and add some mulch to protect the plant if you live in a cold climate. Alternatively, in more mild areas you can leave the foliage until spring and then prune to tidy allowing the fresh new growth to shine.
The flowers of Japanese Anemones can be picked for indoor displays. It is easy to grow and easy on the eye.
