Anemonopsis

A refined shade plant that would grace any plant connoisseur's garden yet is perfectly happy to hang with us average Joes. Leaves evoking Anemone and pendant flowers combining pastels and lavenders in an understated parasol of exquisite design and dimension. A plant that is not on the radar of a lot of gardeners so let's keep it to ourselves. It has been pleasingly tough and durable in our shade garden.

The luscious double flowered form of this aristocratic woodlander from Japan. Extra petals on the lightly blue-pink tinged white flowers takes this to the next level. This is certainly one of the 3000-4000 plants that we would grab first if the greenhouses were ablaze. Our own plants from our divisions - not imported.
