Anemone x. hybrida Double Pink

Common Name: Japanese Anemone 'Double Pink'

Description:
Anemone × hybrida 'Double Pink' is a captivating perennial that enhances late-season gardens with its abundant semi-double to double, rosy pink flowers. Blooming from late summer through autumn, each blossom features 10 to 15 overlapping tepals surrounding a central cluster of golden-yellow anthers, creating a striking contrast. The flowers are elegantly borne on slender, wiry stems that rise above deeply divided, dark green foliage, adding vertical interest and a sense of movement as they sway gently in the breeze. In Melbourne's climate, this anemone thrives in rich, humus-rich, well-drained soils and prefers a position in full sun to part shade. Regular watering is essential to maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during dry periods. 'Double Pink' is an excellent choice for borders, cottage gardens, and naturalistic areas, providing a long-lasting display of color when many other perennials have finished blooming. This variety is also deer and rabbit resistant, making it a resilient addition to various garden settings.
