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:
Splendens is a medium-sized Japanese anemone. From early to mid August it makes a profusion of pale pastel pink, single flowers atop strong, dark stems which resist wind and rain. Flowers have 5 petals of uneven depth of pink which makes them more interesting than other single-coloured anemones. The centres are decorated with a crown of yellow stamens. Stems are well-branched, around one meter tall, and basal leaves are deciduous, palmate, dark green, sharply toothed, and sparsely hairy beneath. Splendens anemone was awarded AGM (Award of Garden Merit) by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) in 1993.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 runners as and when they appear. Hardy to min. -34 °C (USDA zone 4).
