    Is this some type of anenome? I thought they were Japanese ones, but I don't remember the leaves being so large. Trying to decide whether to keep them as they're real bullies.
    Thanks

    Looks like Japanese anemones to me @zebrina. My leaves are same size if not larger. I have a clump of white Honorine Joubert, which I try to keep severely in check.

      My Honorine Joubert has even bigger leaves because it’s close to a Clematis which I fed in spring!

      Thanks. I know they've got lovely flowers, but I suspect they have a garden takeover planned...

      Yes - Jap. anems. Mine are larger than usual, with the foliage emerging earlier too, simply because it was very warmer through winter and early spring, which prompted them to grow more than normal.

      Is it true they are impossible to get rid of?

      They aren't a problem here where I am, but some people find them invasive in certain conditions, especially the pink varieties.

      The whites definitely like damper conditions to do well, but they're fairly adaptable if conditions suit them, and the pink ones seem to run more readily, although they don't seem to be a problem here whenever I've seen them. Our general conditions and soil possibly keep them under control better.

      Same here @Butterfly6, I've been trying to get them going for about three years now! I've recently moved them into a shadier area where the soil doesn't dry out as much and they look promising.

        We had some white ones decades ago. They didn't spread but just came back each year until they didn't. Haven't seen them for years. No idea what happened.

        They grow back from bits of root so some people find them difficult to remove. It tells you something when the recommended means of propagation is root cuttings :biggrin:.
