Product description
A vigorous but compact perennial with tall stems and relatively large flowers as well as a suckering habit which allows for easy propagation from a single plant. The Anemone 'Whirlwind' is a hybrid variety of Japanese Anemone with deep green, divided foliage which sit in mounds beneath tall stems carrying semi-double, pure white flowers with golden yellow centre stamen from late Summer through to the Autumn, providing some great late season displays.
Plant in moderately moist, fertile, well-drained, humus-rich soils and keep in full or partial sun. Can be planted in most positions but heavy, water retentive soils should be avoided as the plant is intolerant of waterlogging and poor drainage, especially during the Winter months.
Please Note: Images are for illustrative purposes only and designed to be a representation of the item(s) being sold. Herbaceous plants die back below the soil in the Winter and may be supplied in their dormant state during this time. Fresh growth will be seen the following Spring.
Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Don’t be concerned if your anemone appears to die back at the end of the growing season. This is perfectly normal, and it will flower just as prolifically the following year.
How to Water
Water thoroughly when planting then moderately until established. After this, anemones only need to be watered during particularly dry spells. Take care not to over-water.
How to Plant
Position anemones in full sun or partial shade in moist but well-draining soil. Plant as soon as possible after buying and water in well.
