Depending on the variety and location, autumn anemones can reach a relatively considerable size. They fit perfectly in the middle and also in the background of a bed. Make sure you don't put them in front of smaller growths so that everyone can enjoy them.
With their location requirements, the autumn anemones do not have a difficult time finding suitable companion plants. They can also thrive in full sun. However, the plant partners should be able to cope with a nutrient-rich substrate.
Thanks to their long flowering period, you can combine the autumn anemones fantastically with a variety of late summer and autumn bloomers to create a sea of flowers. However, keep in mind the rather soft flower colors of the autumn anemones.
Combine autumn anemones in the bed or in the bucket
Autumn anemones can be beautifully underlined in their tenderness with grasses in the bed. The grasses should stand beside or behind them so as not to obscure the flowering cups of the autumn anemones. Another lovely combination is that between autumn anemones and various flowering perennials such as hydrangeas and dahlias, which provide contrasts with their rather large and heavy flowers.
Perfect for combining with autumn anemones are, for example:
- hydrangeas
- silver candles
- dahlias
- male fern
- hosts
- aconite
- Grasses such as fountain grass, spike grass and diamond grass
Combine autumn anemone with monkshood
The monkshood goes with that autumn anemone, because they both value an im penumbra located location. They also require similar characteristics with regard to the substrate. Place the two next to each other in a deep pot and marvel at the bright violet of the aconite in combination with the delicate white or pink of an autumn anemone.

Combine autumn anemone with hydrangea
In a group with several autumn anemones, hydrangeas come out handsomely. This not only creates a color contrast when you choose a blue hydrangea as a companion plant, but also a contrast between the flower shapes and flower sizes. Optimally fit low panicle hydrangeas or small plate hydrangeas with autumn anemones.

Combine autumn anemone with hosta
The combination of autumn anemones and hostas is a partnership of flowering perennials and ornamental foliage perennials. The autumn anemones enhance the hostas with their flowers and the hostas give the image of the autumn anemones their juicy, fresh and decorative foliage. A win-win situation.
