Japanese Anemone CollectionJapanese Anemone, Windflower

Japanese anemones are among the most versatile, resilient, and high-performing perennials in the garden. Blooming from August through October, they provide an extended period of late summer colour. Their wide, saucer-shaped flowers, with a central green button and surrounded by golden yellow anthers, are carried on tall, elegant stems above clumps of three-lobed leaves. When planted in groups, they create a soft, airy display that sways gently in the breeze, making them perfect companions for late bloomers like Asters, Rudbeckia, and Hydrangeas. Their natural, informal appearance is ideal for cottage and wildlife gardens, and they also make superb cut flowers. Japanese anemones thrive in various soil types and growing conditions, are generally disease-resistant, and offer strong resistance to rabbits.

It produces white flowers with a touch of pink and green, with a semi-double appearance. Height: 90 cm (35 inches). Spread: 75 cm (30 inches).
