Summary
A compact, late-season bloomer that keeps the garden glowing when summer fades.
Anemone hupehensis PUFF® ‘Pink’ is a dwarf Japanese anemone with a neat, mounded habit and impressive semi-double blooms. Flowers open in a clear pink shade on sturdy stems, hovering above the foliage for weeks during late summer and fall.
Its smaller size makes it especially useful near paths, in front-of-border plantings, and in containers where taller anemones can feel oversized. The long-lasting blooms also perform well as cut flowers, bringing soft color and movement indoors.
Care
Anemone Care
Plant in full sun to partial shade. In warmer areas, afternoon shade helps extend bloom quality and reduces stress.
Grow in moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Consistent moisture supports the longest bloom period, especially in late-summer heat.
Water regularly during the first growing season. Once established, maintain even moisture during dry spells for best flowering.
Apply a slow release fertilizer in spring to support steady growth and bloom production.
Deadhead spent flowers to keep the planting tidy. After hard frost, cut stems back and clean up old foliage in late fall or early spring.
Divide clumps every few years in spring if plants become crowded.
