Anemone 'Royal Blush'

Royal Blush Windflower

Anemone 'Royal Blush' produces delicate pink blooms accented by white edging and a prominent yellow-green central disc, creating an elegant display of color. The petals appear almost translucent, enhancing their ethereal charm, and the flowers emerge in late summer, continuing into early fall. This extended blooming period adds vibrancy to garden borders or containers as other plants begin to fade.

Originating from a carefully cultivated line of hybrids, 'Royal Blush' showcases the timeless appeal of Japanese anemones while being tailored for garden performance and aesthetic appeal.

Design tip

Fall bloom is its strength, and it earns a place near a path or seating area used late in the year. It takes sun or light shade, which makes it useful along the changing light of a bed edge or a partly shaded border.
