I grow a different anemone from yours and do so in almost 3/4 day full sun with good moisture. Folks in other parts of the country will probably tell you more shade, but this is what works for me.

This particular Japanese Anemone is one of my favorite fall flowers. The one I have is in a location that gets about 3 to 4 hours of direct sun.

See the link for an appropriate thread from last fall

Here is a link that might be useful: HJ

I've discovered many "full sun" perennials perform equally well in fewer than 8 hours of daily sun. I have Russian sage, daylilies, peonies, butterfly bush & quite a few others growing in part sun. If your soil is healthy and there's sufficient moisture, plants will adapt to their growing conditions.

But part shade suggests that it could get a few hours of sun and be okay.

Part shade isn't the same as "dense shade" which I take to mean an area that gets no direct sun at all. Part shade in my garden is an area that gets some direct sun--either early/mid-morning or late afternoon--but not during the hottest part of the day and not for 6 hours or more.

I have an entire bed of hostas + other shade perennials in full shade but also have another bed with hostas, coral bells, Solomon's seal, astilbe, daylily, globeflower, toad lily and columbine, among others, that gets an hour or more of midday sun as well as a couple hours of late afternoon sun. Everything in both beds is thriving.

Pick your spot and then keep track of how H. Jobert goes on.

At my old house I had her in a mostly shady area and she languished. Moved her to a spot with more sun and the difference was remarkable. In my garden now she gets about 4-5 hours of sun and does quite well. I never had her take over in my old garden, so this year I was a bit shocked by all the seedlings around. A little thrilled as well since she's one of my favorites.

Thanks, all! Great HJ thread and photos, rouge21.

I'll give it a shot in my part shade bed with the rest of the perennials and see how it does!
