JAPANESE ANEMONE HUPEHENSIS 'SNOW ANGEL'
For quite a few years now I have had the Japanese anemone 'September Charm' growing in my garden and it is a beautiful thing. Some people are shy of growing Japanese anemones as they have a reputation of being invasive. I don't consider them invasive as they are easily controlled just by dead heading the flowers before they make seed and pulling up any offspring produced on runners if they are unwanted.

The RHS have a webpage dedicated to it: RHS Anemone hupehensis Snow Angel and they have titled it Anemone hupehensis 'Ifansa' PBR (Fantasy Series). It is totally hardy, quite unfussy as to aspect preferring full sun or partial shade, and achieves a height and spread of between 0.5 and 1 metre. It flowers summer and autumn which is just what I want when the spring bulbs have all gone. I hope it does spring its Angel wings in time.
This is a photo of my plant now that buds have opened and flowers are on display. It's doing very well and hopefully will be even better next year.
Below is September Charm which I mentioned earlier.
