Plant Spacing

Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:

Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:

More Information

Description With pink cup-shaped flowers that dance in the breeze, 'Robustissima' Japanese anemone is a mesmerizing addition to the landscape. It blooms in late summer and early fall on tall, wiry stems, making the flowers appear to float above clumps of dark green foliage. Despite its delicate appearance, 'Robustissima' is highly robust and easy to grow. It's a reliable bloomer that tolerates more sun and drier conditions than other cultivars.

You may think of anemones as spring bloomers, but Japanese anemones flower in late summer and fall. Just as your other perennials start to fade, Japanese anemones shine with tall stems and satiny flowers. They're a magnet for pollinators - and thankfully, they remain unbothered by deer and rabbits. They're easy to grow, making them even easier to love in your landscape, containers, or cut arrangements.

Great garden tip: be patient in spring! They're a bit slow to rise in spring but arrive just in time to fill in around dying spring bulbs. Details How To Grow

Too soon to say but I'm very hopeful

The shipment arrived in great shape. Now there are some leaves getting black but it's early days. I bet they will come around! You can even see some new growth at the bottom!

Update on my previous review: Leaves are covered with black spots.

I have ordered a large number of flowers. All of them were extremely healthy, except the Robustissima' Japanese Anemone. Almost all of the leaves were sick and the plant was almost dead. I got in touch with the nursery and followed their instructions. My plants were suffering from traveling disease, and after a few days of good care, they are now thriving with new leaves. Thank you for this great online nursery with its awesome and healthy plants!
