Japanese anemone makes a statement

As summer fades once abundant blooms become scarce. One of my favorite plants comes to the rescue. Years ago I bought a single plant of the Japanese anemone 'Honorina Jobart.' Over the years that single plant has colonized and now makes a major statement in the fall border. The white blooms begin opening in late summer and continue until the first killing frost.

Japanese anemones are herbaceous perennials. Although they are called Japanese anemones they are native to China. They are long lived and require little maintenance after they have become established. Japanese anemones do well in slightly shaded areas and like protection from the wind provided by larger plants or walls.

Most of the varieties are not drought tolerant and should be watered during dry spells. The soil should be neutral or slightly alkaline. Avoid locations where the soil is wet in winter. Deer and rabbit tend not to eat Japanese anemones.

Use them in front of shrubs or evergreens for effective displays. Varieties
