Anemone x hybrida Queen Charlotte is a graceful late flowering perennial with soft shell pink blooms that appear from late summer into autumn. The semi double flowers sit on tall, airy stems above a neat mound of divided green foliage, bringing gentle movement and fresh colour to borders just as many summer plants begin to fade. It is ideal for naturalistic planting, cottage style borders and lightly shaded areas, and is well known for drawing in pollinators during the later part of the season. Queen Charlotte returns reliably each year and adds height, elegance and long lasting seasonal interest.

This plant is supplied as a young perennial plug around 3 to 5 cm in size. These smaller plants grow on quickly once planted and usually take around eight to twelve weeks to reach the size of a typical 9 cm growers pot. When your young plant arrives, unpack it straight away, water gently, and place it in a bright, sheltered spot for a short time while it settles. Plant out or pot on as soon as possible, keeping the soil moist while the roots establish. Once settled, it will grow into a healthy, long lasting perennial for your garden.
