Description
Anemone tomentosa Robustissima carries dark pink, five-petaled flowers on reddish stems from late summer into fall. The flowers rise above strongly divided green foliage, giving a roomy border a clear late-season display.
This vigorous perennial forms clumps and can spread quickly once established. It suits cottage borders, wildlife gardens, and cutting gardens in full sun or partial shade. In sun, keep the soil consistently moist.
Plant in rich, moist but well-drained soil and avoid excessive winter wet. Mulch with compost in spring, water during long dry spells, and cut the stems back in late fall. The plant is mildly toxic if eaten, especially its sap, so avoid ingestion and direct sap contact.
