About this plant
Anemone hupehensis var. japonica 'Pamina' features semi-double, deep pink flowers with layered petals surrounding a soft greenish-yellow center. Blooming from late summer into early fall, these flowers add rich color to the garden during the transitional season. Their slightly cupped shape and delicate texture create an elegant presence in mixed borders or naturalized settings.

Design tip
Fall bloom is its strength, and it earns a place near a path or seating area used late in the year. Because it is easy about light, use it to carry a planting from a sunny end of the bed into the shadier side.
