Plant of the month
Japanese Anemone
Windflower
Windflower
This plant is often, incorrectly, sold as Anemone japonica, this occurred when one form was recorded near Nagasaki in 1695, but they do, in fact, come from China. By the time the early introductions arrived in 1844 they were already known as Anemone japonica. Most varieties sold today are descended from Anemone x hybrida. This hybrid is thought to be a crossing of two or the three of the above species, ironically all of which are Chinese.
An elegant late summer perennial that adds a delightful, final touch to the herbaceous border. They are available in clear colours of white though to mauvey-purple with yellow anthers in the centre. They prefer a semi-shaded to shaded position and if planted in Jersey it is worth noting these are not a coastal plant. They grow between 60 and 100cm. SEE>MORE
