Anemone hupehensis var.japonica "Bressingham Glow" - anemone, windflower
"Bressingham Glow" is a later variety of anemone. It is true to its name because anemos (from Greek) means wind - probably because this type flowers in the season of autumn winds. It has 60-80 cm long stalks with ox-daisy-like deep pink semi-double flowers with bright yellow centres. It starts blooming at the end of summer and continues until October. 3-palmate basal leaves are mid to dark green, sharply toothed, sparsely hairy beneath.
It need moist but well-drained soil, humus-rich fertile soil that is slightly acidic. Mulching is recommended in colder areas. Does not tolerate excessive winter wet.
