Wild Swan Japanese Anemone Blooms Spring to Frost
The award-winning Wild Swan Japanese Anemone (Anemone x 'MACANE001') is a perennial prized for its stunning bicolor blooms and extended flowering season. Unlike many Japanese Anemones that only flower in late summer or fall, this cultivar delights with repeat blooms from late spring through frost!
Each bloom features a pure white face with a sunny yellow center and striking blue-lavender bands on the back of each petal, an enchanting display whether the flowers are opening up to greet the day or nodding gracefully in the evening shade.
Compact and clump-forming, Wild Swan grows just 18 inches tall and up to 2 feet wide, with attractive dark green, deeply lobed foliage that stays tidy through the growing season! The blooms hover above the mound on wiry stems, swaying like dancers in the breeze.
Also known as Windflowers, these sterile hybrids won't self-seed, so they stay where you plant them, perfect for small gardens or borders that need lasting color without spreading!

Care and Maintenance
Bred by Elizabeth MacGregor in Scotland, Wild Swan is a cool-season hybrid Anemone that's cold-hardy in USDA Zones 6-8. It prefers part shade and consistent moisture, but is far more sun-tolerant than typical woodland Anemones. This herbaceous perennial is loved for its reliable performance and long bloom time. It’s not drought-tolerant but thrives in evenly moist, rich soil and handles partial shade beautifully.
- Planting Time: Spring or early fall
- Sun Needs: Part shade to morning sun with afternoon shade
- Soil Needs: Rich, well-drained soil; does not tolerate poor drainage or clay without amendment
- Moisture Needs: Keep soil consistently moist, especially during bloom season
- Mulch/Arborist Mulch: A 3-4 inch deep layer of arborist mulch helps retain moisture and keeps roots cool
- Fertilization Needs: Apply compost in spring or use a balanced slow-release fertilizer
- Pruning Info: Deadhead to prolong blooms; cut back foliage after frost kills it back
- Renewal Pruning: Not needed
- Division Info: Divide every 3-4 years in early spring if needed
- Special Needs/Perks/Growing Tips and Tricks For Success:
- Deer and rabbit resistant
- Attracts pollinators
- Needs protection from strong winds to prevent flower stems from flopping
- Avoid alkaline or very dry soils
