Japanese anemone is a late flowering perennial, commonly grown for late summer and autumn display of flowers. There are many varieties offering white, light or dark pink flowers atop stems of various heights. They are mostly considered shade loving plants, however, if grown in good, evenly moist soil they can thrive in full sun, too, especially white flowering plants which are less demanding for soil moisture.
Description of the plant:
Prinz Heinrich is a Japanese anemone bred by Lindner already in 1902. It produces large, single flowers with long and narrow petals which can be visibly separated from one another or they may overlap. Centres are decorated with a small crown or rich yellow stamens. Flowers are borne freely on usually about 50 cm tall, well-branched stems, but under ideal conditions they may grow almost twice as tall. Basal leaves are deciduous, palmate, dark green, sharply toothed, sparsely hairy beneath. Japanese anemones like moist, humus-rich, slightly acidic, and well-drained soil. When planted in full sun and if you live in area with cold winters make sure the plants are well mulched to keep the roots cool and away from dry frost. They prefer slightly drier conditions before flowering in early summer, as well as in winter. Anemones spread with aerial shoots which root easily so if you want to keep them in one place remove those shoots as and when they appear. Hardy to min. -34°C (USDA zone 4).
