Anemone & galvanised pot combination

  • Position: full sun or partial shade
  • Soil: moist, fertile, humus-rich soil
  • Rate of growth: fast-growing
  • Flowering period: August to October
  • Hardiness: fully hardy

    The light purple-pink flowers appear on airy stems in clusters of up to 20 at a time in late summer and autumn. This vigorous perennial is ideal for areas of partial shade towards the back of a moist, herbaceous or mixed border. Their flowers produce very little pollen, so are good for including in low allergen gardens, or if you do not want to attract bees into the garden.

  • Garden care: Cut back the stalks after the flowers have faded, and tidy up old dead leaves in March. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant in spring. Avoid moving the plant since it resents disturbance. Where necessary lift and divide congested clumps in early spring.

    These planters are produced from a thick galvanised steel sheet and finished with a clear lacquer. The faceted sides add structure and character to the pots.
