Japanese Anemones: The Good, The ‘Bad’ and The Lovely 

Thank you so much, we really appreciate your positive words.

Thanks for adding your advice and appreciation Rico, and happy gardening.

So glad you enjoyed our video. Enjoy your Japanese anemones in flower next summer! Sending best wishes.

For a pretty Japanese anemone that doesn’t multiply into unwanted areas we recommend ’Wild Swan’ which has never spread in our garden (planted 8 years ago) but is so attractive we actually wish it would! It does seem to take a couple of years to get established enough for a generous show of flowers but is worth waiting for.

invasive its a shame to call it invasives the idea is to help em spread themselves around not restrict them you have no spiritual connections with plant flowers if you do stop them let me tell you

Thank you so much for your lovely comment. You may find some of your oriental poppies do not flower this year (even without root disturbance, sometimes oriental poppies can be reluctant to flower for a couple of years) but any non-flowering plants will be supercharging themselves for a great display the following year and for many years to come. Your sunny balcony will be getting your new plants off to a very promising start and a mulch over the soil/compost, such as decorative gravel or bark chippings, will help retain the moisture they love. This year will hopefully give you a taste of the flowers, and following years should bring a beautiful feast!

@@ApplePeaFernSea Thank you for your prompt response and encouraging words. I'll treat my poppies and hellebores then like my orchids, be patient for several months and hope for the best 😅

Hi there, you have a fabulous eye for background shrub detail! This is the lovely Caryopteris × clandonensis 'Heavenly Blue’.

@@ApplePeaFernSea Thank you so much. I haven't heard of that one. I also am in love with that Fantasy Jasmine Anemone.
