Anemone jap. 'Preacox'

’Preacox’ is earlier than other summer blooming Anemones.

Deep pink flowers. The outter petals are slightly darker which makes another interesting dimension of the bloom. 3-palmate basal leaves are mid to dark green, sharply toothed, sparsely hairy beneath.

Bloom season:
It often starts flowering already in early August and continues until end September.

Size:
It has 40-60 cm long stalks with up to 15 flowers of deep pink colour, 4-6 cm wide.

Culture:
Anemones, when planted in full sun, prefer light, sandy soil. In partial shade the soil has to be moist but well-drained. In any location provide fertile, humus-rich soil. They like slightly drier conditions before flowering in early summer, as well as in winter. Mulching is recommended in colder areas.
Vernalization is not required for flowering.
