Can you grow Japanese anemone from seed?

Never tried, have always found that they 'take' quite easily from splitting congested clumps, J.
Since they self seeded all over my garden, then the answer must be yes. BUT why on earth would you want to? And the seedling ones are not as good as the named bought ones either.
Only because I just have the one. However if they self seed I won't bother. Thanks!
Root cuttings is a good propagation method, then you get more of what you started with

Hate to say it, but the only way you can get A, leveillei to gorw from seed is if you can get fresh from a plant.
ALL Anemones have much the same ptroblem, the seed has only a short viability span. For example I have one, A, rivularis. Unless you remove the seed when it is still green and sow straight away, nothing grows.
Can't grow the bloody stuff for toffee here
