Anemone hupehensis ‘Prinz Heinrich’ is a Japanese anemone that brings deep rose‑pink, semi‑double flowers to the garden from late summer into autumn. The blooms float above divided green foliage on wiry stems, adding movement to borders. The narrow, overlapping petals give a refined, airy finish.

Plant it in full sun or partial shade in soil that stays evenly moist but drains well. It’s especially useful for brightening the edge of woodland planting or mixed borders when many summer perennials are winding down. In hotter positions, a little afternoon shade helps flowers stay fresh.

Over time it forms a clump and can slowly spread, so give it space and avoid moving it once established. It pairs well with ornamental grasses, asters and late‑flowering salvias for a long season of interest. Plant in groups if you’d like a more natural drift over time.

Water during dry spells for better flowering, and add a mulch of compost in spring to support healthy growth. Stems can be lightly supported in exposed spots, but they usually weave naturally through neighbours. Avoid winter waterlogging, but don’t let the soil bake dry in summer.

Cut back in late autumn, or leave stems for winter texture and tidy in spring. A reliable choice for late colour with a soft, romantic look. Once established, Japanese anemones can flower reliably for years.

Anemone × hybrida 'Rotkäppchen' brings deep rose-pink, semi-double flowers to late-summer borders, opening on slender stems above handsome, deep green foliage. The saucer-like blooms hover gracefully and keep the garden going just as many perennials begin to fade, adding movement and light to mixed planting schemes.

Typically reaching around 75–100cm once established, Japanese anemones form clump-forming plants that spread gently by suckers over time. They flower for weeks from late summer into autumn and are excellent for weaving through grasses and shrubs, as well as for cutting when stems are harvested in bud.

Plant in full sun or partial shade in moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Choose a sheltered spot and enrich the planting area with compost to help retain moisture. Water well after planting and keep the soil evenly moist while roots establish.

Mulch annually in spring to conserve moisture and feed the soil, and water during prolonged dry spells. Deadhead spent flowers for a tidier display, and cut back stems once the plant has finished in autumn. Divide congested clumps in early spring if you want to control spread or increase stock.

Perfect for naturalistic borders, cottage-style planting and late-season pollinator support, these anemones also make long-lasting cut flowers. Their airy habit pairs beautifully with asters, rudbeckias and ornamental grasses, extending colour and texture into the autumn months.
