Hello Clyde,
Going to take a guess here that you are growing the "Japanese" hybrid
anemone. If that is the case it should be 'arching' as opposed to flopping.
Stems are normally a bit on the wiry side and 2 feet can be normal in
height. I, too, am not fond of staking a plant. Why not get inside the plant
about a third of the way up on the bloom stems and weave some dark colored
string through and finally around the stems, drawing them in just a bit.
Make them support each other. I have never cut mine back and don't think I
would do that one to this particular anemone. Perhaps others have had
different experiences.
