Anemone Overview<\/h3>
DESCRIPTION<\/td>Also known as windflower, anemones are grown for their beautiful, nodding blooms on long, wiry stems. The foliage looks similar between varieties, but size and bloom times vary between spring, summer, or fall. Fall-blooming Japanese anemones are particularly noteworthy because they fill the midsummer-to-fall gap in gardens.<\/td><\/tr>

Colorful Combinations<\/span><\/h2>

Anemones’ timeless grace enhances any garden. Depending on species, anemones can be some of the\u00a0earliest perennials up<\/a>. Those spring plants typically cover woodland floors with delicate, nodding blooms in soft shades, most often white, rarely tinged pink or purple. But the true showstoppers are fall-blooming anemones. These larger plants come in many shades of whites and pinks with petals ranging from single rows to double.<\/p>

Anemone Care Must-Knows<\/span><\/h2>

Perennial anemones are easy to grow, and once established, they can create large colonies of plants for grand displays. Anemones are spread by underground rhizomes that multiply readily; in some cases, they can be almost aggressive spreaders. However, their shallow roots make them easy to dig up.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/div>

For best results, plant anemones\u00a0in well-drained soils<\/a>\u00a0rich in organic matter. The extra organic matter keeps consistent moisture in the soil. Many spring-blooming anemones are ephemeral, meaning the foliage will die back in summer, and plants will go dormant. This can happen quickly if the soil is allowed to dry too much or too often. Keeping the soil evenly moist is also essential for fall bloomers because the foliage can dry up and leaf edges brown and crisp, especially in warm Southern climates.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/div>

Planting anemones that are perennials in part sun protects foliage from drying out too much, but don’t plant fall-blooming varieties in\u00a0too much shade<\/a>. Otherwise, plants become leggy and flop. More shade than necessary also reduces the number of flowers.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/div>

Anemones don’t require much maintenance to display spectacular blooms. While not necessary,\u00a0you can divide anemones<\/a>\u00a0in spring as plants emerge. In shadier plantings, keep an eye out for powdery mildew, which can be a mild nuisance.<\/p>

This native perennial gets its name from\u00a0the shape of its unusual flowers<\/a>, which resemble the heads of snapping turtles. It’s a good choice for heavy, wet soils and spreads to form dense colonies of upright stems bearing pink, rose, or white flowers from late summer into fall. It grows best in some shade, but tolerates full sun with adequate moisture.<\/p>

PETER KRUMHARDT<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>

These diminutive wildflowers set bowl-shaped white, lavender, purple, or pink blooms. They\u00a0get their name<\/a>\u00a0from the evergreen three-part leaves shaped somewhat reminiscent of the human liver\u2014pointed or rounded on their ends and often with a deep purple cast. The plants grow in deep leaf litter in deciduous woodlands in the wild. Liverleaf is excellent in shady rock gardens or woodlands where the soil is rich with humus.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
