The genus Anemone is large and diverse, with species occurring in a wide range of habitats, from woodland to open meadowlands; gardeners everywhere will therefore be able to grow many of them. We deal with the herbaceous perennial forms, with their nodding, often fragrant, single and semi-double pastel fl owers. The lovely common name windfl ower, originally applied to A. blanda from Greece, is now applied to all anemones. Windfl owers that are truly perennial are generally best in the wild garden or the front edge of an understory. Various species provide interesting foliage, colorful fl owers, and unusual seedheads; even the fl ower buds can be striking, some being shiny, translucent, and pearl-like.
Every garden needs a windfl ower; I think it should be possible to have an anemone in fl ower somewhere in your garden from early spring to fall. The Japanese anemones will want to take over the autumn border, however, and need to be strictly controlled. Fall division is not recom-mended: these are spring division plants!
A word of caution: the entire plant is poisonous. ~ Susan Buckles
Scientifi c Name: From the Greek anemos (“wind”).
Common Name: Windfl ower.
Origin: China, Europe, northwestern Asia, Japan.
Preferred Conditions / Light / Management:
Group 1. Woodland anemone (blanda, ×lesseri, multifi da, nemorosa, sylvestris). Sun to part shade in well-drained, humus-rich soil that doesn’t dry out. Doesn’t need division except for propagation. Spring- or summer-fl owering; goes dormant after blooming.
Group 2. Japanese anemone (hupehensis, ×hybrida, rivularis, tomentosa). Sun to part shade in well-drained, fertile, humus-rich soil. Some may be invasive once established. They will benefi t from a winter mulch. Dig around the plants (root prune) every year to help control spread, although without removal of the extra roots you may be propagating these anem-ones! Cut foliage down when dead in winter. Fall-fl owering.
Propagation: Division in spring as new growth appears. Japanese anemones can also be propa-gated from root cuttings in spring.
Pests and Diseases: Slugs.
Companions: For spring bloomers—bulbs, aquilegia, dicentra, helleborus, omphalodes, Ranun-culus fi caria, trillium, primula. For late summer and fall bloomers—grasses, hardy fuchsias, aster, dahlia, eupatorium, phlox, astrantia.
Notes: Watch for fl op on A. hupehensis and A. h. var. japonica; try pea sticks or contain with shrubs. In our gardens, all Japanese anemones run and can cover much more ground than noted in the chart.
