Abundance is the name and it sure is!
If it likes your garden, then stand back and watch it take over.

Thanks Owsboggy (what a lovely name). Maybe a container would be best?

By far the best anemone to grow is the one called Wild Swan...it was the Chelsea plant of the year 2012. It flowers well in pots and will bloom from early June to September and beyond. I have three pots and they are lovely. Look for them in google and if I am allowed to say the plant sellers Crocus stock them.

Don't do it if you only have a small space. Madame Jobert is a nice white one that's much better behaved.

Funny thing about White Swan, it is almost exactly the same as Anemone rivularis, white with a blue reverse and at least the species is well behaved.

Hallo all. The Japanese Anemone sure does spread...and quickly. I have them coming up in all sorts of places in my garden...thank goodness I have a bigish garden so it doesn´t realy matter...and they add a nice splash of colour, and the bees etc etc love them:

I didn't mean don't plant Wild Swan, I meant the pink 'abundance!"

Another good Japanese anemone is 'Whirlwind'. It's quite short, and has double, white flowers, and doesn't seem to spread either

Thank you everyone. The Japanese Anemone is sitting in its pot on my garden table looking totally innocent but, from your comments, perhaps it's better not to let it loose on my tiny garden.

I have a friend with a large garden. Perhaps she would like it.
