Piper's Anemone

The Little Mountain Anemone, Anemone lyallii, only needs to be watered when the top 1 inch of soil in the pot feels dry to the touch. During its growing period (spring - fall), it should be watered regularly, up to twice a week, to ensure soil remains moist. During its dormancy period (winter), it should be watered sparingly, up to once a month, to ensure soil does not become too dry. When watering, it is important to avoid spraying water directly onto the flowers, as this can damage them.

Little Mountain Anemone (Anemone lyallii) is a hardy plant species that grows best in partial shade. It requires at least 3-4 hours of direct sunlight each day, preferably in the morning through afternoon. It can also tolerate some full-sun exposure, however, it is best to avoid scorching afternoon sunlight, as it can burn the foliage. Little Mountain Anemone should be planted in places with high light levels where it gets enough light for photosynthesis. Additionally, it will appreciate a few hours of light afternoon shade to protect it from the heat.

Little Mountain Anemone (Anemone lyallii) can be pruned lightly throughout the growing season, when needed, to maintain its shape. However, they should not be pruned too heavily or too often, as this can reduce their health and vigor. If desired, more significant pruning can be done in late winter (February or March) to remove any dead or damaged branches, as well as to thin the canopy. When pruning this plant, it is important to trim only the excess growth, avoiding the main stems, to ensure the health of the plant.
