Anemone hupehensis, commonly known as Chinese Anemone or Japanese Thimbleweed, is a captivating herbaceous perennial that brings elegance and charm to gardens from late summer into fall. This member of the Ranunculaceae family is native to central China, although it has been widely cultivated in Japan, leading to its “Japanese” identifier. Growing to a height of 1.5 to 2.5 feet, it spreads about 1 to 1.5 feet, forming a lush basal clump of dark green, toothed foliage. From August to October, this plant sends up wiry, branching stems adorned with 2-3 inch, cup-shaped flowers. These flowers feature 5-7 pinkish-white to pale rose-mauve tepals, encircling a striking green center flanked by yellow stamens, offering a showy and graceful display that dances in the breeze—hence the nickname "Windflower." Suitable for USDA zones 4-8, Anemone hupehensis thrives best in part shade, preferring fertile, humus-rich soils that are consistently moist yet well-drained. Ideal for perennial borders, cottage, and woodland gardens, this easy-to-maintain plant—which is also deer-tolerant—requires regular watering and shelter from wind. Embrace its beauty for late summer and fall interest while mindful of the plant's need for protection from too much sun and winter wet. Whether used in mass plantings or as accent pieces, the Japanese Thimbleweed offers a delightful burst of color and texture in any garden.
