Are you ready to add some incredible late summer blooming perennials to your garden? Anemones are prized for their beautiful flowers that grace the late summer and fall garden. Strong stems hold pink or white flowers high above the attractive whorls of leaves. Depending on the variety, anemones begin to bloom in August and continue until frost. Anemone hupehensis 'Pretty Lady Emily'(pictured), a compact variety, is already blooming with charming pink flowers and delicate foliage. Anemone 'Honorine Jobert' has been planted and enjoyed by gardeners since the Civil War - a true testament to the hardiness and continued interest in this very popular variety of anemone!
How to grow: Plant in rich, moist, well-drained soils. Good gardeners will prepare the soil prior to planting by adding compost or composted manure. Sun or part sun (afternoon shade can be helpful during the heat of the summer) is preferable.
Uses: Fall blooming anemones are perfect for beds, borders or containers. Use as accents in the background of a border as some varieties can grow to 36"+; or use compact varieties in the foreground of borders so you can be up-close and personal. Another plus - they can be used as cut flowers for floral arrangements for the home.
Thankfully, fall blooming anemones are virtually trouble-free, making them a sure bet for years of enjoyment. And if you garden in deer country, anemones are reported to be deer resistant.
Now is the perfect time to plant anemones and other perennials in your garden. Many varieties - in bud and bloom - can be found in the perennials yard at Martin Viette
