I have Japanese anemone scattered all over my garden .They are flowering for few days now.Pink and white ,about four feet tall ,they add color and height to a fall garden. Anemone are drought tolerant and can grow in a poor soil so are perfect for a tough side.Full sun or part shade they love it all .
It takes about two years for Anemone to start to run a little but you can always remove little ones in the spring 0r plant them where they have plenty of room to grow.They are one of my favorite and wordy to be in every garden.
