Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Japanese Anemone or Windflower. From the Greek anemos, meaning wind. Known for its graceful shallow-dished flowers, Anemone is one of the best fall-flowering perennials available and is surprisingly strong in California gardens. Effective in woodland plantings under mature trees where they appreciate the partial shade. Slow to establish but once started will spread quickly from fibrous rootstocks. Will tolerate dry conditions but not prolonged drought. Best used in filtered light or part shade with regular water. Hardy to 0F and below. North and south temperate regions.
