Anemone vitifolia 'Robustissima'

Grape Leaf Anemone

A tall, vigorous late-summer to fall-blooming anemone producing soft pink, single flowers with golden centers on sturdy stems. More robust and upright than many Japanese anemones, it’s excellent for adding height and movement to borders as the season winds down.
