Despite being known as Japanese anemones, the three main species - A. hupehensis, A. vitifolium and A. tomentosa - come from China. These were erroneously called Japanese anemones after one particular form was 'first' recorded near Nagasaki in 1695. By the time the first plants reached the West in 1844, they were already known as A. japonica. Most modern varieties are descended from A. x hybrida.
