Looking for a beautiful and easy-to-grow plant for your garden? Look no further than the Anemone hupehensis, also known as Chinese Anemone or Japanese Thimbleweed. This stunning plant features pale pink flowers with 5 (sometimes 6-7) sepal-like petals and a prominent ring of yellow stamens. It grows up to 2 feet tall and blooms in late summer, adding a touch of beauty to your garden when other plants may have faded.
This plant is native to China, but it thrives in shady areas and under the protection of larger plants in all but the hottest and driest conditions in the United States. It grows from rhizomes, caudices, or tubers, with leaves that can be simple, compound, or attached with a leaf stalk. The flowers are bisexual and radially symmetric, with sepals that can be white, purple, blue, green, yellow, pink, or red. The fruits are achene.
