Summary
Anemone pseudoaltaica, commonly known as False Altai Anemone or Japanese Anemone, is a deciduous perennial herb native to the woodlands and grassy slopes of Japan. It typically grows at a moderate rate to a height of 0.5-1 feet (0.15-0.3 meters) and a width of 0.5-1.5 feet (0.2-0.5 meters). This plant forms clumps of deeply divided leaves, and in spring to early summer, it produces an abundance of white flowers with yellow centers that are quite showy and attract pollinators.
False Altai Anemone is valued for its ornamental flowers and its ability to thrive in shaded conditions, making it an excellent choice for woodland gardens, shaded borders, and underplanting beneath deciduous trees. It requires consistently moist, well-drained soil, rich in organic matter, and benefits from mulching to maintain soil moisture. While generally low-maintenance, it can be susceptible to foliar diseases if conditions are too damp or if there is poor air circulation. It is not known to be invasive and does not have aggressive roots, making it a safe choice for most garden settings.CC BY-SA 4.0
