Anemone hupehensis var.japonica 'PAMINA' Japanese anemone

Pamina is a late variety of Japanese anemone. It produces about 2 cm wide rich pink or light purple-pink, double flowers with a corolla of bright yellow stamens from end August until the last warm days of autumn. It has short, well-branched stalks that are 30-40 cm tall. Basal leaves are deciduous, palmate, mid green, sharply toothed, sparsely hairy beneath.

Japanese anemones likes moist, humus-rich, slightly acidic, and well-drained soil. When planted in full and if you live in area with cold winters make sure the plants are well mulched to keep the roots cool and away from dry frost. They prefer slightly drier conditions before flowering in early summer, as well as in winter. Hardy to about -25°C (USDA zone 5b – borderline).
