Anemone hybrida ‘September Charm’
Anemone hybrida 'September Charm' is a graceful, long-blooming perennial prized for its elegant, cup-shaped, silvery-pink flowers and dark, glossy foliage. This vigorous, clump-forming plant features tri-lobed, deeply cut, dark green leaves on long petioles, forming a lush, spreading mound. From late summer through mid-autumn (September to October), it produces branching, slender, upright stems bearing an abundance of single, 2-3 inch wide flowers with 6-9 overlapping petals. The blooms open a soft, silvery-pink with a delicate rose-pink reverse and a prominent boss of golden-yellow stamens, creating a luminous, airy display that attracts bees and other pollinators. The spent flowers form fluffy, white, cottony seed heads that add late-season interest. Adaptable, easy to grow, and spreading slowly by creeping rhizomes to naturalize, it is an outstanding choice for shaded borders, woodland gardens, cottage gardens, mass plantings, and as a cut flower.
