A Whimsical Windflower
Like Cinderella's pink gown and a golden crown, the charming pink blooms of the Fantasy™ Cinderella Japanese Anemone PP#29896 (Anemone hupehensis 'Cinderella') are every fairytale princess's dream! Floating above a compact, late-blooming Windflower is a magical little perennial with giant flower power! This improved Japanese Anemone brings candy-pink, single blooms with sunny yellow centers to the garden from midsummer through fall. These blossoms float gracefully above dark green foliage, held upright on strong, slender stems that never droop.
Also known as a Windflower, each bloom glows with a satiny sheen, flaunting wide, rounded petals and cheery yellow stamens that dazzle against the deep green, finely cut foliage. It's a lovely way to add whimsy and rich butterfly and pollinator support to any flower-filled space, especially when most summer plants begin to fade!
