A unique ‘September Charm’ trio of anemones



 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.

It was a great performer and earned us our "Best Show" award at the end of the season. Like other "annual" salvias, we expected it to die back in the winter. But to my great surprise, it returned the following year - as it does every year, even though our temperatures sometimes drop below zero. If you like salvias in general, you're going to love 'White Flame'. The Plants are bushy and compact, with pure white 4- to 6-inch flow-over spikes appearing profusely from planting time until killing frost.Calyxes are bee magnets, and are enjoyed by hummingbirds and butterflies. Unlike many "annual" salvias produced fresh vegetatively, this selection blooms during summer in the South and does not cycle out. 'White Flame' Salvia loves hea...
