Very pretty spring anemones. I - too have problems with the tall anemones. I have a purple one and it will surprise me now and again. It struggles in the heat & humidity here. There is still some growth with it now, though I double I will see blooms this year. I ordered 4 of the HP white anemones earlier and the year and planted them and left them to fend on their own. That was probably a mistake. It was like the earth swallowed them up.

Here are a few things I can grow that are happily blooming now.. The Aster, the lespedeza bush, the fall crocus, the native lobelia, and the Victoria salvia (that acts as a perennial). Seems the aster and the fall crocus truly spell fall even though the temps do not.
