Japanese anemone 'Little Princess'

Remarkable with a flowering period from August to the first frosts, the ‘Little Princess’ anemone boasts a multitude of pale pink flowers with unparalleled softness. In cool soil and placed in partial shade, its height of 50 cm allows it to thrive both in the garden and in a pot on a balcony or terrace.

Create a partially shaded pot garden to bring an explosion of colour to your balcony. Place one plant per pot by choosing medium-height asters, callistephus, Chinese fountain grasses, heucheras, or heucherellas. The mix of heights, flowers, and foliage will add density and graphic interest to this green space.

Create an autumn bouquet by combining ‘Splendens’ anemone flowers with medium-stem asters such as ‘Ezo Murasaki’, ‘Sonora’, or ‘Bart’s Blue Beauty’; stonecrops from the Sunsparkler® series, macrophylla hydrangeas such as ‘Tovelit’ or ‘Leuchtfeuer’, and for a decorative touch, a few branches of small apples.
