HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS

Anemone japonica 
These beautiful Windflowers are among the most important 
hardy plants. They begin blooming in August and are most 
valuable as they retain their full beauty until cut down by severe 
frost. Besides their value for garden display they are also charming 
as cut flowers, lasting in good condition for several days. The 
plants grow 2 to 3 feet high and are perfectly hardy if protected 
with 2 or 3 inches of leaves during the winter. They respond 
freely to liberal feeding and do well in any good garden soil.
