Anemone tomentosa 'Robustissima' | Robustissima Windflower
DESCRIPTION
Anemone tomentosa 'Robustissima' is a hardy perennial celebrated for its late-season blooms and vigorous growth. From late summer into early autumn, it produces soft pink flowers with a delicate simplicity, featuring overlapping petals surrounding a central cluster of golden stamens. These blooms are carried on wiry, branching stems, creating a graceful display that adds charm to the garden as other plants begin to fade.
Originating from East Asia, this variety is prized for its ability to thrive in cooler climates and challenging garden conditions. 'Robustissima' is particularly well-suited for naturalized plantings, borders, or woodland settings, where its elegant blooms and finely textured foliage provide enduring beauty. Its reliable nature and extended blooming period make it a popular choice for gardeners seeking late-season color.
