Starting in late August\nflowers rise up atop long wiry stems from dark-green basal mounds. Each flower\nis composed of 6-9 overlapping white\/pink petals&nbsp;with numerous yellow\nstamens in center. The dark green leaves are 3-lobed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fall anemones thrive in garden spaces with full or partial day sunlight and in moist, well-drained ground. At planting time, add lots of compost to a mildly acidic garden soil (pH 5.5 to 7.0 preferred). Fall anemones do poorly on dry sites and in heavy clay soil. Plants also fail in soggy clay soil over winter. Leaves tend to burn in hot, dry, sunny conditions.\u00a0In warmer climes of zone 7, set fall anemones in morning sun and partial afternoon shade. When planted in too much shade, plants tend to be floppy and require staking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/whatgrowsthere.com\/grow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Anemone-Queen-Charlotte-4-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12702\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whatgrowsthere.com\/grow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Anemone-Queen-Charlotte-4-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/whatgrowsthere.com\/grow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Anemone-Queen-Charlotte-4-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/whatgrowsthere.com\/grow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Anemone-Queen-Charlotte-4-768x509.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>&#8216;Queen Charlotte&#8217;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Plants are mostly deer tolerant and have few disease\nand insect problems. Flowers attract numerous late season pollinators. From the\nGreek, the word <em>anemone<\/em> means \u201cwindflower\u201d. Observe the flowers swaying in the gentle autumnal breezes, and do shelter\nplants on extremely windy sites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time fall anemones tend to naturalize via\ncreeping rhizomes and seed in freely.
