So, maybe mulch it over the winter, too. It will grow out to 20 feet long. So, a strong support for this thing to go up. You know, we've been talking about foliage and fruit, we should know to look for flowers, I mean you've got some back here that add color to a garden. And one of my favorites is the Japanese anemone.
Most people think of the anemone as a spring blossoming flower.
The Japanese anemone starts about the first part of September and it will bloom non-stop even through some of the light frosts. They start white and they do run into some light pinks and lavenders. But the other thing that's really nice about it is it will tolerate some light shade, as well as full sun. So, for people with shade that's a good choice to try maybe. And this actually a native species.
