Japanese anemone (lat. Anemone japonica) - one of the most common species of the genus Anemone in the family Buttercup. In nature, the representative in question is found in Japan and China, in the second country, mainly in the eastern regions. Nowadays, the Japanese anemone, it is also the Japanese anemone, is actively cultivated in many European countries, as well as in Russia and the USA.
Characteristics of culture
Japanese anemone is represented by attractive perennial herbaceous plants with a height of 70-80 cm, bearing highly branched stems and a creeping horizontal rhizome. It should be noted that this species belongs to the autumn group, it shows its beauty in late summer - early autumn, in contrast, for example, from a group of plants with tuberous rhizomes, which include tender anemone, Caucasian anemone, crown anemone, etc.
The foliage of the Japanese anemone is pubescent over the entire surface, basal, petiolate, rather large in size, three times pinnately dissected, gray-green in color. The flowers are large, up to 6-8 cm in diameter, can be white and light pink, collected in several pieces in loose inflorescences, which give the total mass an incredibly beautiful appearance. Flowering is observed in the second or third decade of August, ends, as a rule, in October, depending on the climatic zone.
Japanese anemone is used for landscaping personal household plots, as well as large city parks and gardens. Most often it is used to decorate rocky gardens and low flower beds. Unlike the daffodil anemone, the plant easily gets along with other representatives of the floral and decorative world. It will become a worthy ally of autumn asters, aconites, sage, astilbe, black cohosh (bedbugs). It is not forbidden to plant Japanese anemone near ornamental shrubs, for example, rhododendron, and cereals.
The subtleties of cultivation
Japanese anemone does not belong to the category of whimsical species, in fact, the entire group of autumn anemones (anemones) does not require a special approach. But! Good health, vigorous growth and abundant flowering are possible only in loose, moderately moist and fertile soils with a neutral pH reaction. On acidic, salty, marshy and heavy clay soils, the anemone does not feel well, therefore it is not recommended to plant it in such areas. Drainage, by the way, is welcome. But the lowlands will not be a good companion for the Japanese anemone.
The location of the culture accepts only sunny or semi-shaded with diffused light, this is a prerequisite for growing all types of anemones. Despite the relatively high growth, the support of the Japanese anemone is not required, but it should not be planted in windy areas, otherwise it will break not quite strong stems. You can plant the plant along the shrubs, but so that their crown does not block the sunlight. With the correct location and compliance with the simple rules of care, the anemone grows rapidly, therefore it should be periodically thinned and divided.
The species under consideration is divided into root suckers. The division is carried out manually or with a shovel. The weeds of a rapidly growing anemone are infrequent, but weeding, especially in the first year, must be carried out regularly. The roots of the Japanese anemone are very delicate, it is necessary to pull out the weeds only with your hands, without using garden tools, they will harm the culture. For the winter, plants need good shelter, since they are not winter-hardy species.
Common varieties
Like the tender anemone, the species in question has many varieties and forms. But terry varieties and forms are especially popular among gardeners and florists; they give expressiveness, brightness and attractiveness to the garden. The situation is similar with varieties with red flowers. They, like a fiery flame, fascinate with their fascination.
Of the varieties with pink semi-double flowers, the hardy variety Koenigin Charlotte can be noted; among semi-double wine varieties - Prinz Heinrich. Among the varieties with white flowers, the Wirbelwind variety is famous, it also belongs to the semi-double group; among the reds with a pinkish tint - Bressingham Glow.
