Anemone tomentosa ‘Robustissima’ (Japanese Anemone) is a hardy, long-blooming perennial that brings a delicate touch to late summer and fall gardens. Known for its soft pink, cup-shaped flowers on tall, wiry stems, this variety adds graceful movement to borders and woodland gardens. The dark green, deeply lobed foliage forms a dense mound, providing a lush backdrop for the blooms. 'Robustissima' is admired for its ability to thrive in partial shade and tolerate poor soils, making it a resilient choice for a wide range of garden conditions. Its flowers are also highly attractive to pollinators, adding ecological value to ornamental displays.
