The leaves are vine like, dark green, and semi evergreen. These single flowered Japanese anemones are one of the plants traditionally associated with Japanese gardens, where theyaposre grown against dark rocks or in the shade of trees. Best in partial shade, they are perfect for lighting up a dark corner of the garden, or at the back of a herbaceous border. Garden care Cut back the stalks after the flowers have faded, and tidy up old dead leaves in March. Apply a generous 5 7cm 2 3in mulch of well rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant in spring. Avoid moving the plant since it resents disturbance. Where necessary, lift and divide congested clumps in early spring.
