I bought this one last year, absolutely love it!

[@OverdevestNurseries]

That is so good to hear. One of the most rewarding things about our job is sharing some of the pleasure we get out of growing and telling people about garden gems like this. So, hearing that you "love it" too, is great to hear. Just remember, it likes a cool, moist (not wet) root run, so mulch it this spring to help the soil around it remain moist and cool and it should grow out to be even fuller and better.

I had wild swan in my yards for 4 years now. Do you recommend deadheading the seed heads after flowering ? I find that when September arrives, they are not as free flowering Thank you

[@OverdevestNurseries]

Yes, dead heading (removal of old flower heads) will be beneficial, it might help to stimulate later flowering but it will certainly help to keep them bushier and tidier looking and help to encourage stronger clumps.

Finally, now that the cooler weather of Fall arrives, it brings with it the BEST TIME of PLANTING and since our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ are continuing to bring in stocks of gorgeous plants, if you live in our Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern region be sure to stop in and take a look…. Because that’s where you will discover all sorts of beautiful, tried and true and cutting edge, top performing selections.

Can it grow in full sun ? It reminds me on anemone Sylvestris which blooms in May/June

[@OverdevestNurseries]

We've had fairly good results with it when we've tried in a sunny spots. If you decide to try it, it will be important to incorporate plenty of organic matter at planting time and mulch it well too, to help keep the roots cool and moist during any prolonged, dry, summer periods (and having a hose pipe or watering can handy would be good too). If it gets dry, it is not unusual to see summer dormancy kick in, with it re-emerging again in the cooler, moist conditions of autumn. Have you subscribed to our channel?

Grows in the shade?

[@OverdevestNurseries]

Thanks for asking. Yes, as you will see from this link to our Grown By Overdevest website: grownbyoverdevest.com/plant/wild-swan-japanese-anemone/ it does best in a partially (or lightly) shaded site. 🙂

[@rdarrett3635]

Is it aggressive? I’m considering Honorine Jobert for its beauty, but reading that it can be a thug. I don’t want a thug. I want a beautiful, tall, white flower.

[@OverdevestNurseries]

It is a clumping perennial that is not at all aggressive, it is a completely different type of Anemone: www.grownbyoverdevest.com/plants/wild-swan-japanese-anemone/ Flowers much earlier than Honorine Jobert and it only grows about 16-18" and is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS and is highly recommended. Mind you, if you want "a beautiful, TALL, white flower", and don't mind it flowering in late summer and into the Autumn then 'Honorine Jobert' is hard to beat. Hopefully you will have room for both!
