ANEMONE JAPONICA (Japanese Windflower) 



These beautiful Windflowers are one of the most important hardy plants. While 

 they begin blooming in August they are more especially valuable on account of 

 their continuing in full beauty until cut down by hard frost. All are excellent for 

 cutting, lasting in good condition for many days. The plants grow 2 to 3 

 feet high, are perfectly hardy if given the protection of 2 or 3 inches of leaves 

 or litter during the winter, and, while they respond freely to liberal feeding, they 

 will succeed in any ordinary garden soil, increasing in beauty from year to year. 

 They can be used in solid beds or borders or clumps planted through the hardy 

 border, which they brighten during the late fall months.
