    Yes, you can plant the seeds but most people have better luck with dividing the tubers instead. Seed plants will also take longer to mature and bloom. The seeds can be sown in shallow beds with well-draining soil during fall or early spring.

    They should have started to grow by now. Something may have happened to the plant, perhaps rodent damage or rot. Dig gently in the place where you planted them and see if the root system is soft and mushy or firm and pliant. If it is soft and mushy, than root rot got them. If you can't find them, then it is likely rodent damage.

    No, it shouldn't crowd out the other plants. While it is a prolific spreader, this plant is not known to be overly invasive.

    I would recommend digging up as much as you can, then applying either Round-up or boiling water to the area where it was, to kill off any of the remaining roots. Be aware that both Round-up and boiling water will kill whatever plant growth it touches.

    You could also implement edging, installing it at least 2-4 inches in the ground to try to keep the roots in bound.

    Anemones can be aggressive to the point of almost being a nuisance. "But, they are SO pretty." Yes, they are beautiful. Since most grow from rhizomes and tubers, they will be difficult to control. You can try to dig or pull them out, and this might work for a while.
