Herbaceous Perennials Japanese Anemones

#gardening #wildlife #plants #flowers
Japanese Anemones are a prolific variety of herbaceous perennials that, in truth, are native to China, not Japan. They grow in a wide range of soil types, from clay to loam to sand, and will tolerate full sun and even bloom in partial shade. Highly prolific, they grow from seeds, rhizomes, and even can product roots along their long, wiry flower stems, that can reach up to five and six feet in length. They need some tending to during Autumn, first by removing the spent flower stems and then cutting back the foliage. Watch as I demonstrate how to prune the stems and I'll even show you the unique seed head and rhizomes. Remember to hit the subscribe button. Karma will reward you. :)

Thank you for demonstrating on how to control the the Japanese Anemone. I just bought my first one today and had no idea that they were such prolific spreaders.

[@TinthiaClemant]

Hi, oh they do love to spread but the good news is you’ll have lots of plants to share with your friends and neighbors. Enjoy and happy gardening. 🌻

Just bought a dwarf one, it only grows 16 inches tall by 20-24 inches wide. I actually didn't know anything about the existence of this plant,and that's why I watched this video. I only bought it at the nursery because I liked the flowers. Mine is call "Lady Emily".

@@rosyortzd9566 How exciting. I believe she is out of Monrovia Nurseries. And she has double petals. Soooo pretty. Good luck with her. I will have to look for her next year. Happy gardening. 🌻

[@lisagfrerer9429]

They are not prolific spreaders at all

[@rosyortzd9566]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ❤️

Hi, I am pleased you found the video helpful. Happy gardening. 🌻

I love them Japanese anemones, they have beautiful flowers and I actually want them to take over the bed I put them in. Thank you posting this, now I know why they divide quickly on their own😅

[@TinthiaClemant]

I am so glad I was able to give you useful information. I wish I had a spot that I could allow them to roam free. They would be stunning, different cultivars, waving in the breeze. Enjoy. Happy Gardening.🌻

How can I tell when the seeds are ready to be collected? I would like to grow some for myself. Please help

Thank you for a very helpful video. We live in London and I have two Anemone Honorine Joberts in my bed. They are about 3 years old and 4 feet tall. However, they have not self seeded or spread, and since new plants cost the equivalent of about $15 each over here, I would like to know if you think it’s better to divide them in the Spring or take some seeds in late Oct and plant them in an incubator over winter? Any advice welcome - I guess we have a non spreading variety! Thanks.

[@TinthiaClemant]

Hi, Sometimes the seeds are not viable; some plants are hybridized to be sterile. Also, if the seeds to take, sometimes the wild variety that was used to make the hybrid comes through and the plants isn't as robust. I know this can happen with tall phlox. So, long answer...I split in spring when I see the plant emerging from the warmed soil. I don't know of a non-spreading variety as the plant sends out runners from the roots. You might see leaves sprouting up several inches from the mother plant and think they are weeds. However, I would try to dry some seeds and plant them in spring and see what happens. Always worth a try. Or try the incubator. What have you got to lose, except a few cups of soil? Give it a go. Happy gardening. 🌺

May I ask what to do when all the flowers turn down to the ground? I cannot support them all with sticks. 😊

[@TinthiaClemant]

Are you referring to flowers that group to the ground like peonies? The blossoms are still beautiful, but the stem is drooping to the ground? If so, stake the peonies up. They sell peonies rings, but you have to put those in before the plant has grown. You can just use a stick or get gardening stacks thin green ones at Home Depot or Lowe’s And prop each stems up each
If you’re referring to plants with blossoms have browned or you want to trim the plant back to what should look like new leaf action.
As for Hella, Boris, let the plants die down to the ground because they will seed themselves and you’ll get larger collection of blossoms.
Happy gardening 🌻
