Anemone jap. 'Splendens'

A fabulous plant for adding late summer colour to the garden, this anemone grows in sun or shade and has masses of pale pink, saucer-like flowers with yellow centres. The leaves are semi-evergreen and deeply cut and bring interesting texture to a herbaceous border. It is clump-forming and looks good with most late-flowering plants, especially if it is allowed to spread gently among perennials and shrubs.

Bloom season:
August to October.

Size:
60-90 cm / 2-3’

Location:
Full sun to partial shade.

Culture:
Requires fertile, well drained soil. Cut back the stalks after the flowers have faded, and tidy up old dead leaves in March.
