Anemone × hybrida 'Whirlwind'
Japanese anemone
This vigorous, clump-forming perennial brings late-summer elegance to mixed borders with its airy sprays of semi-double to double white flowers. 'Whirlwind' features captivating 6cm (2in) wide blooms composed of narrow, slightly rolled petals, some with a distinctive green flush or quilled appearance. The flowerheads are enhanced by a central boss of yellow stamens, creating a delicate contrast against the plant's handsomely lobed foliage. Ideal for the middle of a border, this Japanese anemone hybrid adds height and and texture, its robust nature ensuring a stunning display that extends the garden's visual interest well into the autumn months.
How to care for Anemone × hybrida Whirlwind:
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.
