Anemone ‘Regal Swan’

Common Name:
Japanese Windflower 'Regal Swan'

Description:
Anemone ‘Regal Swan’ is a graceful and hardy perennial prized for its elegant, semi-double flowers in soft pastel pink tones, each with a central boss of golden-yellow stamens. A cultivated form of the Japanese windflower, this variety brings a refined, romantic touch to shaded garden borders and woodland-style plantings. ‘Regal Swan’ blooms prolifically from late summer into mid-autumn, standing tall on slender, wiry stems above clumps of deep green foliage. It thrives in Melbourne's cool to temperate climate, performing best in part shade with moist, well-drained soils that are rich in organic matter. Once established, it displays good drought tolerance and slowly spreads by underground rhizomes to form attractive drifts. Its long-lasting blooms and sturdy habit make it an ideal choice for both cottage and formal garden designs.
