These plants spread by underground runners and are best contained, some people use them as a ground cover, but remember not to let them ‘get away’ as they can become a little invasive if left to wander as they will smother smaller plants fairly quickly. Plants are readily available for sale from Nurseries and Mail Order Nurseries.

They are easy to grow from Melbourne to Sydney, and also thrive in Hobart, Adelaide and Perth.

Growing Conditions for Japanese windflowers

Japanese Windflowers thrive in well-drained, humus-rich soils and prefer part-shade conditions. These plants are excellent performers in temperate climates and are particularly well-suited to gardens in cities like Melbourne, Sydney, Hobart, Adelaide, and Perth. They flower from mid-summer into early winter, providing a reliable splash of color when many other plants begin to fade.

How to Grow Japanese Windflowers

  • Choose a position is part shade.
  • Make sure that the soil is well drained.
  • Prepare the soil by adding extra compost and cow manure,
  • Plant in early spring.
  • Water in with a liquid seaweed fertiliser.
  • Mulch to maintain a cool moist root run.

Pruning

Wind flowers can be pruned to the ground in winter when the foliage starts to deteriorate.

Propagation of Japanese Windflowers

Japanese Windflowers are easily propagated through division or by separating the underground runners they naturally produce. The best time to divide is in early spring or autumn.

Steps to Propagate:

  • Carefully dig up the plant and locate the runners or clumps.
  • Separate using a clean, sharp spade or knife.
  • Replant divisions in prepared soil with compost or aged manure.
  • Water thoroughly and mulch well.

Climate Zones for Japanese Windflowers

These versatile perennials perform well in cool to temperate climates and can adapt to a variety of zones:

  • USDA Zones: 4–9
  • Australia: Thrive in most southern and coastal regions
  • UK: Hardy throughout the country

They are frost-tolerant and capable of surviving light freezes, making them an ideal choice for cooler gardens.

Notes and other information

  • We provide very little extra care, they are never watered, and rarely fertilised.
  • They thrive on the neglect, and reward us reliably every autumn.
  • They grow well in part shade, and can be used in some of those more difficult positions in the garden.
  • They will grow to 1.2m in height depending on cultivar and have either pink or white flowers, doubles are also available. Look for ‘Red wine’ with great red flowers.
