Invasive Japanese Anemone

I have tried to dig this plant out once in a client's border but it is now but with a vengence blocking out light to the new planting and taking over once again. I have already lost a few plants.
Has anyone else come across this problem, or has any tips on removing the plant once and for all.

    They send out a lot of runners if I am remembering it correctly. So I would personally treat them a bit like getting rid of bamboo as in you need to chase the roots around the borders until you've got them all out.

    Japanese Anemone is high on the RHS list of 'thug plants'. Very invasive and difficult to get rid of. I don't think it looks particularly good in the first place and would never recommend anybody plant it.

    It spreads underground and the only real options are digging out as much as possible as often as possible and spraying fresh leaves with glyphosate if you wish. May take a while depending on how entrenched it is.

  • quite easy in spring - Hoe every week and they will be exhausted by june, they dont have a large storage systme in to root, most is in the taproot under each main plant.

    Otherwise spray with Glphosate in April - done,.

  • beautiful lovely flower - i have a row of pink in my garden. wish i had white to..

    not enough about. only rhizomes, so can be dug out if so wish in wintertime..

  • I like them as well.

    Nip the seed heads off to stop them spreading all over the garden, dig up any that you don't want, hoe weekly if there's time to, or dot the offending new growth, with a paintbrush, with neat RUP if you need a one-hit treatment.

  • Morning Michael,

    As the others have said above, a treatment with a glyphosate based product will get rid of this plant. As they spread by rhizome, it may take a couple of applications in order to get the chemical right to the end of the roots, but it will definitely finish it off.

    We have both main brand Roundup, click here, and also a generic called Clinic Ace, click here.

    If you would like any more information, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

    Cheers, Ollie
