Water thoroughly to ensure the root system is evenly moist, and water at the base of the plant to minimize leaves being wet. During the fall and winter, water only when the soil is completely dry. It is important to water the anemone only as needed to reduce the risk of disease and fungus.

They will benefit from receiving about 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day, preferably in the morning or early afternoon. Plants should be protected from the strongest midday and afternoon sun to prevent heat stress and leaf scalding. Avoid placing them in full shade, as this may prevent flowering and inhibit growth.

Pruning
Japanese anemone (Anemone hupehensis 'Hadspen Abundance') should be pruned in late winter after it has finished blooming.
