Japanese Anemone is the flower to bridge the summer to fall gap. The sturdy foliage makes a great backdrop to other summer blooming perennials. When those hot colored summer bloomers are done, the cool and serene shades of Windflower appear to signal the change of season. Whirlwind Windflower is a delicate but tough plant that works well with other plants in either a formal garden or relaxed Cottage Garden setting. The pure white, semi double blooms are held high above the foliage on graceful, but sturdy stems. A good cut flower that is long lasting in the vase.
Whirlwind Windflower is a great late season source of food for beneficial pollinators. This herbaceous perennial is also deer, rabbit and disease resistant. Hummingbirds love this plant.
Whirlwind Japanese Anemone Care
Windflowers tolerate a wide range of light conditions. It will bloom equally well in the part shade of a woodland garden or full sun of a cottage garden. This plant is not fussy about soil pH and settles well into any well drained, moist soil. In fact, this perennial is probably both the most elegant and tough plant you could grow. Dividing every 2-3 years will help Windflowers to remain vigorous growers and bloomers.
Fertilizing should be done early in the summer when the foliage begins to emerge. A well balanced, slow release feed is recommended. Windflowers can handle short periods of drought after they are mature and established. The only annual maintenance required is to clean up the old growth early in the spring. Allowing the top of the plant to die down naturally in the fall will provide the crown protection from cold, harsh winter.
Whirlwind Japanese Anemone Spacing
Windflowers look best when they are planted in large groups. They can also be effective in late summer and fall container plantings as a filler. Space these plants 28 - 32 inches on center to give a ice full look from the first season.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
