The wide variety of autumn anemone species
They shine white, pink or dark red and enchant every autumn garden with their beautiful colors - autumn anemones are among the most beautiful and robust flowers of autumn. The diversity of varieties is so great that the choice is not easy.
Filled or unfilled flowers
The appearance of autumn anemones is not uniform. So there are breeds with simple flowers of five petals. Half-filled and completely filled flowers are also possible.
The shape and size of the flowers vary depending on the variety. The petals may be tapered, round or radiating.
The three main cultures
The gardener distinguishes between the three main cultures:
Anemone hupehensis is also referred to as the Japanese autumn anemone, while the anemone tomentosa is a felt-leaved autumn anemone. Anemone japonica is a special cultivar of the anemone hupehensis that has produced its own varieties.

Consider the size and location of the garden
When choosing the autumn anemone variety for your garden you should consider the size and location. Very high grades tend to spread strongly. They are therefore not well suited for small gardens.
For small gardens or planting in the pot, choose low species that form less streamers. Also in gardens that are very exposed to the wind, you will enjoy more of low-season anemones.
In the first year after planting all autumn anemone varieties need winter protection. It takes two years for the perennials to settle in properly and be really hardy. But then they are almost indestructible.
