Medium to Tall - Plant 16 in apart. - Soft pink single flowers. The most adaptable of the Japanese Anemones. The hardiest and the most tolerant of sun and drier conditions. 2" flowers on tall stems are freely and continuously produced. Likes moisture, and needs winter protection in the most northern states. Deer resistant. Good for cut flowers.

Ive had this plant for about four years. I moved it twice before finding the perfect spot for it. It has pritty pink flowers and will eventually spread to form a large mound. Does well in a somewhat shady position. It needs good drainage and ive found that mine needs a good deal of water in the summer when its particularly hot and dry here.

robust is right it will wander around. but drought tolerant. blooms profusely and as pretty a flower as the japanese hybrids.it grows right under an old dogwood and i never water them but theyre hemmed in by a retaining wall.
