There are plants that take more space than you would like to allot in every 
garden.  You can still grow this anemone in many different ways with some 
imagination.  If it confined to any area, say with some shrubs, that is 
defined by the lawnmower  that will work.  Many times suburban houses have 
driveway strips that have no plantings  being long and narrow; a place for 
difficult to control plants.  In border areas we have rocky formations (ours 
courtesy of Mother Nature) but the same can be made for interest in any 
border and provide places for very small, very vigorous and very fussy 
plants.  

There is a long list of shrubs that are kept in place by the lawn mower and 
no reason why a beautiful, it quite tall as well, perennial cannot be grown 
the same.  Here where the growing season is short preventing many plants from 
running away are shrubs that sucker: lilac, quince, kerria, hydrangea, 
others.  I dig up and replant tall phlox every year or if I don't, I should.

Since the garden is a community of plants that have not chosen to grow 
together the gardener is the peace maker and lots of solutions are there if 
you think about that way.

Somebody tell us the difference  between Canadian zones and US zones.
