I don't know what kind of anemones we are talking about.  I grow  Anemone 
blanda, or Greek
anemones in the spring and Anemone hupehensis var. japonica,in the fall, 
but 
neither is invasive.  I have grown both for years, and each is  somewhat 
naturlized,
but never a problem.  Deer love the Japanese anemones that bloom  in the 
fall, so
I don't get too many blossoms, but a few in a protected  spot.
 
What kind of anemones are invasive, and what kind are difficult to  grow?

Happy Bday and thanks for  posting! I have been meaning to for a while. I 
am looking for any ideas of  how to get rid of anemone that is taking over 
my garden. I have dug,  pulled, round-up (carefully with a paint brush bc 
other things are  nearby), and I cannot kill it. In fact it seems to regrow 
from any tiny  root that is left behind. Any suggestions? If I don't get 
it out, it will  I'm afraid take over my entire front garden...
