Tips

To maintain the health and vigor of your Anemone hupehensis 'Splendens', consider dividing the plant every few years. This process rejuvenates the plant and can help to control its spread in the garden.
While this species can tolerate partial shade, planting it in a location with ample sunlight will encourage the most prolific blooming.
Ensure the soil remains well-drained, as the Japanese Anemone does not tolerate waterlogged conditions well. Incorporate organic matter into the planting hole to improve soil structure and drainage.
Mulching around the base of the plant can help to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds, contributing to the overall health and aesthetic of your Anemone 'Splendens'.

Ideal placement of a Anemone hupehensis 'Splendens'

Thriving best in full sun to partial shade, Anemone hupehensis 'Splendens' is versatile in its placement but requires well-drained soil to flourish. It benefits from a location that provides some protection from harsh afternoon sun, which can ensure the vibrancy of its pink blossoms from late summer into autumn. The plant's average water needs call for consistent moisture, particularly in dry periods, to maintain its lush green foliage. An area that mimics its natural woodland habitat, with dappled light and rich soil, would be an ideal setting for this variety to reach its maximum height of 80 cm with a healthy, bushy growth habit.

How do I plant a Anemone hupehensis 'Splendens'?

For optimal growth, Anemone hupehensis 'Splendens' should be planted in well-drained soil that can support a range of types. This species thrives in both sunny and partially shaded locations, offering flexibility in garden design. When establishing these plants, which are provided in pots, ensure they are spaced adequately to accommodate their bushy, upright growth habit, reaching heights of up to 80 cm. Regular watering is essential to maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during dry spells, as this plant does not exhibit drought resistance. With proper care, expect a delightful display of pink flowers from late summer into autumn.

Pruning a Anemone hupehensis 'Splendens'

Pruning of Anemone hupehensis 'Splendens' is minimal, focusing on maintaining plant health and aesthetics. After flowering, cut back the spent blooms to encourage a tidy appearance and prevent self-seeding, if desired. In late autumn or early spring, remove dead foliage and stems to make way for new growth. This species benefits from a gentle thinning to promote air circulation within the clump. As this plant dies back to the ground in winter, any remaining dead material can be cleared to keep the area clean.

Watering a Anemone hupehensis 'Splendens'

The Anemone hupehensis 'Splendens' thrives with consistent moisture, particularly during the flowering period in late summer to autumn. While it can tolerate various soil types, ensuring well-drained conditions will help prevent waterlogged roots. It is essential to maintain an average watering schedule, allowing the soil to dry slightly between watering sessions. During dry spells, additional irrigation may be necessary to support the plant's lush foliage and vibrant blooms. It is advisable to water in the mornings or evenings to optimize absorption and reduce evaporation.

Fertilising a Anemone hupehensis 'Splendens'

To ensure the Anemone hupehensis 'Splendens' thrives and displays its vibrant blooms, a proper feeding schedule is crucial. Fertilize this species once in the early spring as new growth appears, and again just before the onset of the flowering period in late summer. Utilize a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to provide a steady supply of nutrients that support both foliage and flower development.

It is important to apply the fertilizer around the base of the plant, being careful to avoid direct contact with the foliage to prevent burn. Watering the plant after fertilizing helps to distribute the nutrients into the soil and to the roots. A consistent fertilization routine will reward you with an impressive display of purple and pink blossoms from late summer through autumn.
