Description: Japanese Anemones arrive at a time that lots of other plants start to fade. They are delicate and elegant and bring late summer and autumn colour that is muted in tone, unlike many other flowering plants at that time. They are quite happy in part shade so can be good in a semi woodland garden. They also grow well in pots and troughs.
Care: Easy plant to grow. They don't like very wet conditions but are otherwise a happy and low maintenance plant. They can be split in early spring or autumn.
