Botanical Name:
Anemone × hybrida 'Margarete'
ah-NEM-oh-nee ex HY-brid-ah
Common Name: Japanese anemone
Genus:
Anemone
This beautiful, medium pink, semi-double-flowered anemone has exceptionally large blooms from mid- to late-September through October on stems 28 to 32 inches tall.
Care:
Anemones thrive in light to partial shade but will tolerate full sun, as long as there is sufficient moisture. Site plants in moist, humus-rich soil, but avoid overly wet conditions. Apply mulch annually in northern regions.
Propagation:
Divide plants in early spring or propagate by root cuttings in late fall or early spring.
Problems:
Japanese beetles and black blister beetles can be a problem, but neither is life-threatening. Foliar nematode damage, which is hard to recognize, will cause plants to slowly decline.

Margarete is a well-behaved, late summer-into autumn Anemone. It grows well in rich forest duff in dappled shade, and has slowly increased its strong, long-stemmed clump of good pink, semi-double flowers. It likes regular moisture but not standing water. I have used it for many years.
