As Uvedale Price pointed out, white can be discordant when placed among other colours. But when it’s on its own with a dark backdrop it can look splendid, especially at this time of year. And none more so than the Japanese Anemone. It’s a perfect autumn flower, lasting for at least two months from the beginning of September and, if you’re lucky one or two blooms will survive until Christmas. It needs no attention at all, in terms of staking, feeding or dead-heading and will happily multiply behind your back until you suddenly realise that it’s everywhere. In fact I’ve no idea where the clump shown here came from – it just suddenly seemed to appear. But it’s very comfortable on the edge of the shady border and I’ll be perfectly happy for it to spread to its heart’s content.
