Hardiness Zones: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
Botanical Name: Anemone × hybrida 'Alice' ah-NEM-oh-nee ex HY-brid-ah Common Name: Japanese anemone Synonyms: A. x elegans, A. japonica of gardens Genus: Anemone
This beautiful, pale pink, semi-double-flowered anemone reaches 2 to 3 feet high. The Anemone X hybrida plants are commonly referred to as Japanese hybrids. They're the result of a cross between A. hupehensis var. japonica and A. vitifolia, a tender Himalayan species with grapeleaf-like foliage and white flowers.
 Noteworthy characteristics: Large, semi-double, pale pink flowers with a thick golden ring of stamens.
 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.
