General Culture:

Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Best in part shade with protection from wind. Foliage tends to burn in hot, dry, sunny summer conditions. Prefers consistently moist, humusy soils with good drainage. Soils must not be allowed to dry out. Avoid wet, poorly drained soils, however, particularly in winter. May be slow to establish, but naturalizes well in optimum growing conditions.

Noteworthy Characteristics:

‘Bodnant Burgundy’ is a vigorous, fibrous-rooted, mounding, Japanese anemone cultivar that typically grows to 2-4’ tall and spreads by creeping rhizomes. Single, burgundy flowers (2-3” diameter) with yellow stamens appear on long, wiry-but-graceful, branching stems over an attractive foliage mound of trifoliate dark green leaves. Lengthy August to September bloom period.
