Anemone japonica ‘Whirlwind’

Late-summer into autumn flowering perennial with ruffled white flowers with yellow and green centres

Established plants in 2 litre containers

Description

Anemone japonica ‘Whirlwind’ is a complete winner in woodland styled gardens, principally for us because it throws out masses of white flowers at a time when the flowering of other shade tolerant plants is long over. The neat divided mid-green foliage emerges in spring, mounds up tidily through the summer, and gives way to the flowering performance from late summer through into autumn, when tall, wiry stems break the foliage cover and open out into lovely white petalled flowers with yellow and green centres. The flowers light the gloom of shadier spots and look fabulous when the lower sun in late summer and autumn creeps behind them.
These established, garden-ready plants have been grown at our nursery in Cornwall and are supplied in 2 litre containers. They will grow to an ultimate height in flower of around 90cm (3 feet or so), with a spread of around half of that.

Growing Advice

Japanese anemones have a reputation as a bit of a garden thug – but that hasn’t been our experience, perhaps because we are growing them in shadier, drier spots under trees. They will in reality adapt to a range of garden situations and are perfectly happy in full sun locations too, but won’t do well if they are allowed to dry out too much. Because of their reputation for spreading we’ve always avoided putting them in and amongst more delicate perennials in prime location borders – but there’s no reason they won’t work there if you’re prepared to keep a bit of an eye on them to stop them taking over. In shadier drier spots they can take a bit of time and care to establish but once they’ve done so they’ll go on providing great late-summer and autumn colour for years to come.

Before ordering with us please make sure you read the pages below to help you understand what to expect when buying plants online from a nursery such as ours. For instance the photographs in our listings are intended to give you an impression of our plants in their mature (and usually flowering) form. The last photograph in this listing provides an indication of the size of the plant to expect when you buy from us. It is not a guarantee of the way the top growth will look when you receive the plant(s), as this will depend on the time of the season you have ordered the plant and it simply isn’t possible to provide photographs of the plants at every stage of growth during the year. Plants ordered in spring, autumn or winter for example may have much reduced or tired top growth that will regrow later in the season / the following season and you should be aware of this when ordering at these times. If you have any questions about the current condition of any of our plants please do get in touch, or see the links below for more information about what to expect.
