Anemone, Pamina

Fall blooming Japanese anemones fill a special niche. Upright tall clumps are topped by wiry stems of semi-double rose pink flowers; broad layered petals cluster at the base of whorls of yellow stamen. Without blossoms, the plant is a beautiful mound of dark green, lobed leaves that serve as dense ground cover. Protect from direct, hot sun and wind, and plant in rich, moist soils.
