Anemone hupehensis japonica 'Elite Pure White'

Common Name:
Elite Pure White Japanese Windflower

Description:
Anemone hupehensis japonica 'Elite Pure White' is a graceful, late-season perennial prized for its elegant white flowers that seem to float above lush mounds of dark green foliage. This cultivar is part of the Japanese windflower group, known for their late summer to autumn bloom and ability to bring fresh interest to partly shaded garden beds just as many other perennials are fading. 'Elite Pure White' produces clean, single to semi-double white blooms with soft golden-yellow stamens, held aloft on slender stems that sway gently in the breeze. Perfect for Melbourne gardens, this variety thrives in part shade with moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Once established, it spreads gently to form attractive drifts, making it ideal for cottage gardens, woodland plantings, and borders. It is low maintenance and benefits from cutting back after flowering and mulching in late winter.
