Anemone X Hybrida Elegans | 9cm Pot

A tall, late summer, perennial Japanese anemone with light purple-pink flowers. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: moist, fertile, humus-rich soil Rate of growth: fast-growing Flowering period: August to October Hardiness: fully hardyThe light purple-pink flowers of this Japanese anemone appear on airy stems in clusters of up to 20 at a time in late summer and autumn. This vigorous perennial is ideal for areas of partial shade towards the back of a moist herbaceous or mixed border. Their flowers produce very little pollen, so are good for including in low allergen gardens, or if you do not want to attract bees into the garden. Garden care: Cut back the stalks after the flowers have faded, and tidy up old dead leaves in March. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant in spring. Avoid moving the plant since it resents disturbance. Where necessary lift and divide congested clumps in early spring.
