| The tag on this plant said Shade but looking it up online says Full to part sun.
I planted 4 on the north side of my house out a ways from the side. It gets sun starting later towards noon and then through the rest of the day. It started out very nicely but everything finally turned yellow and withered away. All that's left is flower stalks. Water was not an issue. Too much sun? Planted near an Andromeda, Iris, and asters. They are all doing fine. Thanks, Charles |

| Hi Charles, Anemone Harmony Orchid is a tender perennial who's foliage dies back in summer. Returning the following spring but is more native to the Mediterranean region and would be more of an annual for you. Hope this helps. Pat |

| This is actually a bulbous anemone, aka windflower, that typically is planted in fall at the same time other spring blooming bulbs are planted. Once the spring bloom season is over, the foliage does tend to yellow and wither away as the plant goes dormant during the summer months. It should be hardy to -30F but unlike some of the more common spring bulbs (like daffs and crocuses), is not a reliable returner. |
