Anemone Wild Swan - Japanese Anemone

<strong>Japanese Anemones or Autumn Anemones</strong> and their hybrids <strong>are remarkable for their abundant flowering</strong>. They suit many garden styles, from the most classic to the most modern. They have become very popular in recent years among landscapers; a fine example is provided by the fields of Anemones designed by <a href="http://www.gillesclement.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gilles Clément</a> for the <a href="http://www.quaibranly.fr/fr/les-espaces/le-jardin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">garden of the Musée du Quai Branly</a> in Paris. <strong>Autumn Anemones are among the most enduring perennial plants for partial shade</strong>. Easy to grow, they ensure a very floral end of summer and autumn each year, with a profusion of large single or double flowers, white or pink in varying shades, sometimes leaning towards purple. They thrive in partial shade, at the foot of trees or at the back of borders where they form magnificent colonies. <strong>Very hardy, they grow in cool soil, without too much lime</strong>, where they spread slowly but surely. They take a few years to really settle in, but once they find their place in the garden, their flowers become increasingly numerous over the years. Japanese Anemone can become invasive, so it needs to be controlled a bit, unless you enjoy the naturalistic look! <strong>These "daughters of the air," both light, resilient, and low-maintenance, are essential for autumn scenes</strong>. They easily combine with other perennials and late-flowering roses, creating very lovely simple and fresh bouquets.
