Botanical Name: Anemone × hybrida 'Kriemhilde' ah-NEM-oh-nee ex HY-brid-ah Common Name: Japanese anemone Genus: Anemone

This beautiful, lavender-pink anemone reaches 32 to 40 inches tall. 'Kriemhilde' blooms from September to October.


 Noteworthy characteristics:

Taller than the species. Creamy pink flowers. Can be weedy or invasive.


 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 them 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 difficult to recognize, will cause plants to slowly decline.

Japanese anemones are slightly taller than the species, sometimes growing to 4 feet. The deep rose-pink semi-double flowers with yellow centers rise above the foliage on branched stems from midsummer to autumn. This perennial is beautiful in the woodland garden or border and planted in masses, although they can become weedy in some areas.
