Japanese anemones are stalwarts of cottage gardens and perennial borders. This superb collection brings together three well-known varieties that will bring plenty of late-summer interest to your garden. A host of delicate windflowers rise above the attractive green foliage, attracting pollinating insects to their nectarrich blooms. Hardy and resilient, these undemanding perennials will return year after year, requiring very little maintenance. The collection, which is despatched from January onwards, comprises
1. Anemone hybrida ‘Honorine Jobert’:
A classic anemone which is incredibly easy to grow and gives impressive displays from late summer to autumn. H&S: 90cm.
2. Anemone hybrida ‘September
Charm’: Rose-pink blooms, with outer petals softly tinted in purple, will revive fading borders right through to early autumn. H: 90cm, S: 40cm.
3. Anemone hupehensis japonica ‘Prinz
Heinrich’: From late summer, each tightly rounded bud reveals semi-double flowers, with delicately rolled petals that fade to paler pink as they mature. H: 75cm, S: 60cm.
4. Anemone blanda Mixed
Daisy-like flowers stretch out their petals to form a carpet of dazzling colour. These spreading woodland perennials create a great profusion of charming blue, pink and white flowers over many weeks throughout spring. With lush, fern-like foliage, windflowers are ideal for woodlands, wildlife gardens and rockeries, or planting beneath trees and shrubs. Try naturalising them in lawns for a really breathtaking effect. H: 10cm, S: 15cm.
