Hybrid Anemone (Anemone x hybrida)

Hybrid Anemone, also known as Japanese Anemone, is a perennial that offers elegant, delicate flowers in shades of white, pink, and lavender. This variety is a hybrid cross that combines several species of anemone, resulting in a plant that is more vigorous and long-lasting than its parent varieties. Hybrid Anemones are known for their graceful, airy appearance, with long stems that hold the flowers above the foliage. They typically bloom in late summer to fall, filling the garden with color when many other plants have finished blooming. These anemones are great for woodland gardens, shaded borders, and cutting gardens, where they add soft, romantic charm.
