COMMON: False anemone BLOOM HEIGHT LIGHT ZONE Late July to September 1 ft. - 3 ft. Semishade 6 - 9 July - Light purple to rose COMMENTS: For a very sheltered and shady position as hot, dry winds soon cause the leaves to die, although the roots may survive. The 10-inch multiple-compound leaves grow low to the ground. The nodding, waxy, 1-1/2-inch flowers bloom on loose, arching branches with an appearance similar to the Japanese anemone. It likes a deep, rich, well-drained site.
