About this species:
Fall Anemone, also known as Japanese Anemone, is a graceful perennial that brings late-season beauty to gardens with its elegant, cup-shaped flowers. Blooming from late summer through fall, the blossoms range in shades of white, pink or lavender and are held on tall, wiry stems above clumps of dark green, deeply lobed foliage. They form a beautiful ground cover that can spread quickly. This low maintenance plant thrives in partial shade and moist, well-drained soil making it a versatile choice for woodland gardens, or cottage-style landscapes. Fall Anemone adds a touch of sophistication and attracts pollinators, providing vibrant color when most flowers begin to fade.
