A chance discovery by Rosy Hardy in 2015 and recently introduced. Ruffled semi-double ‘Frilly Knickers’ is a stunning sport of 'Dreaming Swan'. The large purple buds of this clump-forming perennial open to a mass of white petals with delicate hints of lilac and a boss of golden-yellow stamens. Well suited to the small garden with a long flowering season and perfect for pots!
How to care for Anemone Frilly Knickers ('Fp007') (PBR):
