Anemone hupehensis var. japonica 'Red Riding Hood'

 

Japanese Anemone 'Red Riding Hood'

Anemone hupehensis is an erect, clump-forming, flowering perennial that bears 5-petalled white or pink flowers from mid Summer to Autumn. The tall varieties should be grown at the back of the border as the foliage is rather coarse. If happy, it will spread. 'Red Riding Hood' is compact, slug and snail resistant, not fussy about soil conditions, and doesn't mind full sun or partial shade. The flowers are deep pink
