One of the Japanese aristocrats. Dainty and rare.
Native to the Japanese island of Honshu, Anemonopsis is frost hardy to
zones 5-9. This hard-to-find woodlander forms clumps of cimicifuga-like
foliage topped with nodding, waxy lilac flowers in late summer.
It flowers in late summer, with slender stems held above the foliage
carrying delicate flowers with outer lilac sepals and inner violet
petals forming a cup. Although not a small plant, as the flowering stems
can reach up to 2', still has a sort of airy, dainty appearance among
the others woodlanders.
Anemonopsis is self-fertile and an isolated plant will set modest
amounts of seed. If sown in containers and exposed to winter chilling,
germination will occur the next spring. Anemonopsis seed retains its
viability in storage to a reasonable degree. Anemonopsis can also be
propagated by division.
