Anemone Fall in Love Sweetly

Japanese Anemone Fall In Love Sweetly is a medium-sized, floriferous and colourful variety, with pretty semi-double, slightly crumpled flowers.  This charming and well-presented plant blooms from August to autumn, producing a multitude of large, bright pink flowers which emerge from carmine pink buds. A simple beauty that complements other late summer and autumn blooms. This perennial thrives in full sun or partial shade, in moist and rich soil. 

Anemone Fall In Love Sweetly belongs to the Ranunculaceae family. Like other hybrids obtained from the Japanese anemone, it is a perennial plant with fibrous 'tubers' that form large, vigorous and rounded clumps. The foliage is deciduous to semi-evergreen in winter, depending on the climate. The leaves are deeply cut, dark green, strongly veined on the underside, and more or less pubescent. In this Fall In Love Sweetly variety, the plant reaches 60 cm (24in) in height when in bloom, with a width of about 50 cm. The abundant flowering takes place from August to October, or even November, and is constantly renewed as long as the soil does not dry out too much. The flowers are borne on sturdy, well-branched stems. They first appear as delicious oval and fluffy buds, carmine pink in colour, and then open into very pink semi-double cups. The golden yellow centre is densely filled with stamens. Anemones can live for years in the same place, as long as the soil is rich.

The Fall In Love Sweetly Anemone will bring life to flower beds from summer to autumn, and can therefore accompany many other late summer blooms such as fuchsia 'Versicolor' , Rabdosia longituba, or late asters such as 'Stardust' Aster ageratoides, 'Beth Chatto' Aster divaricatus, or the New England asters and their numerous varieties. It can also be associated with fine foliage grasses for contrast, for example with Carex morowii 'Ice Dance'. It is excellent for cut flowers in lovely autumn bouquets.
