Jude, I don't know how it would perform in your area, but its so tough I can't imagine much bothering it. I have plenty and would be happy to share; dmail me if you're interested.

billyporter, I have'nt mulched my Japanese anemones and have'nt had a problem with overwintering here. I did plant a couple in areas that were either too dry or where there was too much compitition from other plants and lost those the first year, but I think that was because they were new babies. I saw my first blooms on 'Margarette' this year; the blister beatles devastated them as they were budding last year.
