Description

Anemone x hybrida Königin / Queen Charlotte

For late summer and early autumn colour, you really can't beat Anemone x hybrida Queen Charlotte. More commonly known as the Japanese anemone, you'll also see Queen Charlotte listed as Königin Charlotte, just to confuse matters! This tall perennial grows to 1.5m with large rose-pink semi-double flowers with yellow centres carried on wiry stems, held above a mound of attractive, dark-green divided leaves. 

They'll bring movement and colour into your garden from August to October and the leaves are semi-evergreen.

Great In Your Garden...

A fabulous plant for bringing colour to the garden in late summer and autumn, with vine-like, dark green leaves. They're ideal for areas of partial shade towards the back of a moist herbaceous or mixed border at a time of year when many plants are finishing their display.

If left undisturbed, plants will soon spread to form impressive clumps and a major feature of your garden. Avoid moving plants, as they hate root disturbance. Crowded clumps can be lifted and divided in early spring if necessary.
