Anemone hupehensis “September Charm” facts and information.

Despite its common name this plant is in fact a native of China.
This fully frost hardy perennial grows to approx 0.6 metres (2ft) in height; with a spread of approx 0.6 metres (2ft).
For a long period starting now this plant will sport large light pink single flowers above clumpy dark green foliage.
For the Japanese anemone to shine give it a position in full to partial sun and in a soil which drains well.
One complaint that some people have levelled at the Japanese anemone is that it is invasive and keeps spreading due to the roots forming stems as they spread.
If this is a concern with you then I suggest regular division or the drastic solution of planting the anemone into a large pot buried in the soil thus halting its invasion.
I heartily recommend this perennial for “late in the year” colour, and should you require a white variety why not try planting Anemone X Hybrida “Honorine Jobert”.
