Growing and Maintenance Tips

Japanese anenomes are easy to grow when properly sited. They can be grown in full sun if a consistant supply of moisture is available. Generally they will do better with protection from the hot, midday sun; dappled shade is ideal. Plant them in rich, loose, well-drained soil. Dry or excessively wet soil and windy conditions are a sure downfall of this plant.
This perennial spreads by means of creeping rhizomes, and new plants may appear near the original clump in the spring. They are easily transplanted if they show up where they are not wanted. This should be done in the spring. Make sure to provide a heavy mulch in the fall the first two seasons to prevent frost heaving.
Deer and rabbits typically don’t bother this plant and it has no serious pest or disease issues.
