Anemone Robustissima

Anemone Robustissima

Anemone Robustissima is one of the most resilient and dependable Japanese anemones, valued for its graceful presence and late-season blooms. From late summer into fall, this vigorous perennial produces soft pink, single flowers with golden yellow centers held on tall, slender stems. Its airy blooms create a delicate yet striking effect in borders and woodland gardens, offering a welcome splash of color when many other plants have faded.

True to its name, Robustissima is exceptionally hardy and adaptable, thriving in a wide range of soil types and conditions. It spreads steadily over time to form a lush, low-maintenance groundcover, making it an ideal choice for naturalized plantings, cottage gardens, or shaded borders. Pollinators such as bees and butterflies are drawn to its blooms, adding life and movement to the garden in the final weeks of summer.

Low-maintenance yet high-impact, Anemone Robustissima pairs beautifully with hostas, ferns, and ornamental grasses. Its ability to thrive in partial shade, deer resistance, and tolerance of varying moisture levels make it a reliable and enduring favorite for multi-season beauty.
