When to plant Japanese Anemone
Japanese anemone is a fall-flowering perennial best planted in spring, the standard window for hardy perennials. Clemson notes it performs best in a partially shaded site with morning sun and afternoon shade, needs well-drained soil to avoid winter root rot, and blooms in fall starting the second year.
The calendar shows this cited seasonal window as an approximate band. It does not convert the season into frost-adjusted dates.
