?Japanese Anemone flowers can compete in beauty with all the flowers that have gone by during the season? (G.S.Thomas)?this variety has lovely white, semi-double flowers on 2-3' stems. PSh/M (not soggy)

End the season with Whirlwind, with lovely semi-double white 3" blossoms accented with a ring of bright yellow stamens surrounding green centers on tall3-4' stems. Plants can be very vigorous where happy, and they are known to spread a bit. Japanese Anemones enjoy a well drained soil with ample moisture during the growing season. Great for cutting and deer resistant!

A stunning semi-double white Anemone with blooms to a whopping 4" across with yellow green centers is just riveting in the Fall Garden. Beautiful swaying in the breeze and a perfect choice because they come up late (as do all Japanese Windflowers) to cover spring bulbs as their foliage dies back.
