Anemone ‘Rose Shades’ is a delightful perennial known for its vibrant, rose-pink blooms that bring a burst of colour to the garden. Flowering from late summer to early autumn, these charming flowers create a striking display that enlivens any outdoor space. This compact variety grows to a height of 45-60 cm (18-24 inches) and forms a tidy clump, making it perfect for borders, containers, or mixed perennial beds.

Plant Anemone ‘Rose Shades’ in a sunny or partially shaded position where it can receive 4-6 hours of sunlight each day. It thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and benefits from regular watering, particularly during dry periods. Mulching in spring helps retain soil moisture and enriches the soil as it decomposes.

For optimal growth and prolific blooming, feed Anemone ‘Rose Shades’ with a balanced, all-purpose fertiliser in early spring as new growth emerges. Pruning is minimal and involves removing spent flower stems and any dead or damaged foliage to maintain a neat appearance. After the flowering season, cut back the foliage to ground level.

Anemone ‘Rose Shades’ is excellent for attracting bees and other pollinators, providing a valuable nectar source during the late season when other flowers may be fading. By planting this vibrant anemone, you enhance your garden’s biodiversity and support local wildlife, all while enjoying its colourful and long-lasting blooms.
