Description
Japanese anemones are some of the best plants for the late summer and autumn garden. And Japanese Anemone 'Whirlwind' is one of the best of the best! This is a bright, elegant and beautiful anemone, and in many respects, it is better than arguably the most popular Japanese anemone of them all – 'Honorine Jobert' – in that ‘Whirlwind’ has a double layer of pure white petals. It makes the bloom have a more fluted effect. These flowers are carried on slender stems above a mass of handsome vine-shaped leaves!
One of the most tolerant of this great group of autumn-flowering plants, Anemone × hybrida 'Whirlwind' is ideal for a spot in part shade – it will light up a woodland garden or shaded border. It is also fully hardy, wildlife friendly, and resistant to rabbit attack! Also, the branching stems of flowers are superb for cutting. It’s an indispensable plant that can be left untouched for years.

Useful information
-
Soak the Anemone 'Whirlwind' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting
Plant your "Japanese anemone" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost in spring and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors
Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).
Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
