Description

A plant that flourishes in all zones, the anemone japonica is a long-lived, fibrous-rooked tree which produces great fall color when grown in partial shade. Its graceful, branching stems rise 2-4' out of clumps of dark green, 3-5' hair-covered lobes. The flowers of this plant are semi-double, and appear in either white, silvery-pink, or rose colors. Once established, it spreads rapidly as long as the roots remain undisturbed.

Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
