Re: [SG] Anemone was: Variegated Solomon's Seal

Clyde,

Realized I should have copied the list, so am repeating my message sent to
you.

Looks very like one I have, purchased as 'September Charm' many years ago.
If what I have is that one (I'm beginning to doubt nursery labels) , it
comes under Anemone x hybrida and is sometimes listed as A. hupehensis.
Silvery-pink flowers turning into sort of dandelion, cottony fluff seed
head and getting max. 2.5' tall?  Mine doesn't get that tall, but it is
growing under a  yew hedge in dry, rooty conditions and part sun.  Mine has
spread, but not too aggressively, but again, could very well be the root
competition it has from the hedge.

Suggest you send the image to Gene Bush, as well, and get a second opinion
on this one.
