Anemone 'Royal Candy'
Anemone 'Royal Candy' is a charming and vibrant cultivar of the beloved Japanese anemone family. This eye-catching perennial is celebrated for its striking flowers, which feature semi-double blooms in a delightful shade of rich pink. The petals, numerous and slightly ruffled, surround a centre of golden-yellow stamens, creating a beautiful contrast that adds depth to the flower's appearance.
Blooming from late summer through to early autumn, 'Royal Candy' provides a welcome burst of colour when many other plants are beginning to fade. The flowers are held aloft on slender, wiry stems that can reach heights of 60-80 cm, dancing gracefully above the plant's dark green, maple-like foliage. This movement in even the slightest breeze adds a dynamic quality to borders and beds.
Preferring partial shade to full sun, Anemone 'Royal Candy' thrives in moist, well-draining soil. It's an excellent choice for woodland gardens, mixed borders, or cottage-style plantings. Its long-lasting blooms also make superb cut flowers, bringing a touch of late-season charm to indoor arrangements.
