Fantasy Pocahontas Windflower

Fantasy Pocahontas Windflower

Fantasy Pocahontas Windflower (Anemone hupehensis ‘Fantasy Pocahontas’) is a compact, long-blooming perennial prized for its fully double, rosy-pink flowers, bright golden centers, and tidy, mounded habit. Beginning in late summer and continuing well into fall, masses of lush, layered blooms rise above deep green foliage, providing vibrant color when many other perennials have finished flowering. The long-lasting flowers attract bees and butterflies while creating an elegant display in the landscape.

Its compact, well-branched habit makes Fantasy™ Pocahontas an excellent choice for smaller gardens, mixed perennial borders, woodland edges, cottage gardens, and patio containers. Unlike traditional taller windflowers, this variety remains neat and manageable while producing an abundance of blooms on sturdy stems that rarely require staking. The fully double flowers are also exceptional for fresh-cut floral arrangements.

Typically growing 18 to 24 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide, Fantasy™ Pocahontas thrives in partial sun and moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Once established, it forms slowly expanding clumps that provide dependable late-season color year after year. Consistent moisture during hot, dry periods encourages the best flowering performance.

Care Instructions:

Planting: Plant in partial sun in moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Protect from intense afternoon sun.
Soil: Prefers fertile, consistently moist soil with good drainage.
Watering: Water regularly during establishment and keep soil evenly moist during extended dry periods.
Fertilizing: Apply compost or a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring.
Pruning: Remove spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Cut plants back after frost or in late winter before new growth begins.
Spacing: Space plants 18–24 inches apart for mature growth and good air circulation.
Maintenance: Mulch annually to conserve moisture and divide clumps every few years if needed to maintain vigor.
Companion Plants: Hostas, Coral Bells, and Japanese Forest Grasses
