Anemone Frilly Knickers
Clump forming A. Frilly Knickers lives up to its name with large frilly pale pink flowers with a lavender reverse. Its compact nature means that while still nodding gracefully in the wind as its common name (Windflower) suggests, its flowers are also less prone to the destructive whims of autumn gales.
- Pot size: 2L
- Height and Spread: 50cm (19in) x 50cm (19in)

The Japanese Anemone is a famously cheering sight in an autumn garden, providing valuable height and colour so late in the growing season. Unworried by sun or shade, this undemanding perennial will look equally marvellous planted en masse in a mixed border, or as a beguiling specimen in a container.
