Estimated Native Range
Summary
Eriocapitella vitifolia, commonly known as Grape-Leaved Anemone, is a deciduous perennial herb native to woodlands and scrub areas from Pakistan to China. It typically grows to a height of 4-6 feet and a width of 3 feet. The plant features deeply lobed leaves that resemble those of grapevines, hence the common name. It produces showy, cup-shaped flowers that are white or pink, blooming profusely from late summer to fall, adding a splash of color to the garden when many other plants have finished flowering.
Grape-Leaved Anemone is valued for its late-season blooms and its ability to naturalize in suitable conditions. It is often used in border plantings, woodland gardens, and as a ground cover. This species prefers partial shade but can tolerate full sun if kept moist. It thrives in humus-rich, well-drained soil and requires regular watering, especially in dry periods. While generally low-maintenance, it can be susceptible to powdery mildew and should be spaced properly to ensure good air circulation. Gardeners should be aware that Eriocapitella vitifolia can spread aggressively by rhizomes and may need to be controlled in smaller spaces.CC BY-SA 4.0
