Field Notes
Description:
Anemone hupehensis, Anemone hupehensis var. japonica, and Anemone × hybrida (commonly known as the Chinese or Japanese anemone, thimbleweed, or windflower) are herbaceous perennials in the buttercup family.
Height is 3–4 ft (1–1 m). Leaves have three leaflets.
Flowers are 40–60 mm (1.6–2.4 in) across, with 5-6 (or up to 20 in double forms) pink or white sepals long and numerous yellow stamens, and bloom from mid-summer to autumn.
Habitat:
These plants thrive best in shady areas and under protection of larger plants, and in all but the hottest and the driest conditions in the United States. They are especially sensitive to drought or overwatering. They can be invasive or weedy in some areas, although they can take some time to become established.
It is native to central China, though it has been naturalized in Japan for hundreds of years.
