This hardy perennial boasts a compact, bushy habit that makes it ideal for small gardens and modest garden borders alike. Its lobed, dark green foliage provides an attractive backdrop for the striking floral display. From late summer through autumn, Anemone hupehensis 'Ariel' produces an abundance of deep pink blossoms, each adorned with vibrant yellow stamens at the centre. The plant's strong, dense growth ensures a tidy appearance throughout the season, requiring minimal maintenance. Perfect for adding late-season colour to partially shaded areas, this beautiful cultivar combines aesthetic appeal with robust performance, making it a valuable addition to any garden design seeking long-lasting visual interest.


  • Garden care:
    When planting, incorporate compost to improve drainage and fertility, spacing plants 30-45cm (12-18in) apart and watering thoroughly. Apply a layer of organic mulch to retain moisture. 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.
