When I bought some Canada anemone last summer, it said that it was extremely aggressive, especially in the sun. So I put it by itself in the front yard with the pin cherry, the black chokeberry bush and the sweet fern bush. And wow, they were not kidding. Definitely replacing all the grass, and there are dozens and dozens of flower buds already

They sell this as ground cover!! To be fair, Ontario native plants does say one foot tall. I didn't notice

@stephanie Hey, they're not wrong. It's certainly covering the ground lol

@CedarTea lmao maybe they'll chill out a bit once the pin cherry is bigger and shades it a bit

@stephanie Yeah it's most vigorous in moist sun. Reducing either of those will settle it down.

@CedarTea ah yes you're right! That should help in a few years!

@stephanie And you'll never have to buy mulch again! It's better for bees than mulch is too

@CedarTea Oh for sure! The whole front lawn was a HUGE blue spruce that took over everything, nothing could grow there and it was way too close to the house and the street. This is much better!
