Anemone x hybrida
About Japanese Anemone
Flowers from late summer into autumn on tall wiry stems, filling the gap after the summer perennials finish and before the asters start. It takes two or three years to settle and then runs at the root, so give it space rather than a tight slot in a border. Best in part shade with steady moisture; it scorches in full afternoon sun.
