Anemone x hybrida 'September Charm' (Japanese wind flower) - A hardy, long-lived, semi-deciduous clumping perennial with graceful branching flower stems to 2 1/2 feet tall, spreading by rhizomes to 4 feet or more with grape-like dark green basal leaves that are lightly covered with fine hairs. The tall flower stalks produce silver-pink flower clusters in late summer through fall. Along the coast they can grow in full sun/open shade; inland protect from hot direct sun. Deadhead as needed. Cut plants to the ground in early winter or after frost blackens the foliage. Hardy to <15 degrees F. Good for cut flowers. RHS Award of Garden Merit in 1993. The name Anemone comes from Greek mythology as Anemone was the daughter of the wind. Anemone x hybrida or Japanese anemones as they are commonly called, are all the result of crossing two or three species, A. hupehensis, A. vitifolium, and A. tomentosa. Ironically all of these actually come from China but were erroneously called Japanese anemones when brought into cultivation because of an early record of one plant from Japan.
This information about Anemone x hybrida 'September Charm' displayed is based on research conducted in our horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also will relate observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments that we receive from others and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
