My Japanese Anemones I can't get rid of and they were originally from a friend.

We have had a clump of Japenese anemones for years but they never reproduced as yours seem to. This spring we have just moved them to a pot to see if they survive and they struggled for a bit but are now stable. We will see what happens over the season.
 
Our Japanese Anemones came in from next door. 🙂 No wonder I can never find them on my plant list, I've been calling them Japanese Azaleas! They're not Japanese they're Chinese! :D

Eriocapitella hupehensis, a species of flowering plant in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae, is native to Asia. The specific epithet hupehensis, which means "from Hupeh province, China", refers to a region where the species is known to occur.

Oh, buttercup family! I never knew that. No wonder they grow like weeds!

Weeds are just plants, any plants, which come up somewhere we don't want them to!

Hee! The neighbour didn't want that tree on his half. Whatever happened to 'it's nice to share' :D

to quote Alan Titchmarsh.

Mr & Mrs next door complained of bird poop and bird song. (I believe blackbirds singing at the dead of night are by far the worst)

Can I ask if you have success with transplanting your anemones? I’ve never had much luck...something to do with them having a tap root apparently...or maybe I’m just rubbish at it🙄...perhaps I should take more earth with them? Any tips would be much appreciated🙂

Hi
This is my recently potted Japanese Anenomes taken from the garden with just enough soil dug up with them. They struggled for a while but now the new leaves look happy. Generally Japanese anemone don't like being moved. Early days yet. They are in compost and watered every day since potting. Fingers crossed.
 
It looked nice in that ball shape. 🙂 Shame really and they'll have to live in an atmosphere now. I couldn't be doing with it, I'd move.

When the windowcleaner knocked all our housemartin's nests down because our adjoining neighbour, a friend, complained of the mess we had a full scale street row, my sister and I up in arms, the poor birdies going mad in the sky wheeling about distressed. They stayed though, with half a nest each, looked horrible. That might have been the last time we had our windows cleaned. :D

How sad. It's illegal to disturb birds nests before September there are regulations.
 
Just looked up Japanese anemones... dividing clumps and potting... online at Gardenersworld.com and the best time to divide is early spring and autumn... apparently they do sulk for a while afterwards but generally recover. And they work well in pots!
Hopefully that means they won't spread. You can also take root cuttings.
They like mulched soil, slightly shady position.
