Bright, Bubblegum-Pink Japanese Anemone For Late Season Drama
The Fantasy™ Pocahontas Japanese Anemone PP#25352 (Anemone hupehensis 'Pocahontas') is a modern marvel of flower power! This double-flowered, reblooming cultivar of Japanese Anemone bursts into bloom in mid to late summer and keeps blooming into fall with layer upon layer of bubblegum-pink petals and golden-yellow stamens that bring in the butterflies and pollinators.
These sturdy, weatherproof blossoms rise on upright stems that make it a darling for bouquets! Plus, the blooms just keep coming without flopping over! Tidy and compact, Fantasy™ Pocahontas grows into a soft, mounding shape with finely cut, deep green foliage that looks great even when out of bloom. When the petals finally fall, they're replaced by fuzzy, cottony seed heads that add visual texture through the winter.
