September Charm Japanese Anemone
Anemone × hybrida ‘September Charm’
1 gallon pot
 
An elegant late-season perennial, September Charm produces masses of soft silvery-pink flowers with deeper rose-pink shading on the reverse of the petals surrounding golden-yellow centers. The graceful blooms dance on tall, wiry stems above attractive deep green foliage, bringing movement and fresh color to the garden when many summer perennials are beginning to fade. It is especially beautiful planted among ferns, hostas, and other woodland companions.
This vigorous, long-lived anemone performs beautifully in part sun to part shade with rich, consistently moist, well-drained soil. Once established, it gradually spreads by underground rhizomes to form impressive colonies, so give it room to grow. The late flowers provide an important source of nectar for bees and other pollinators.
