Pamina Windflower
Anemone hupehensis ‘Pamina’, Pamina Japanese WindflowerPamina Windflower (Anemone hupehensis ‘Pamina’) is a compact, award-winning perennial admired for its rich rose-pink semi-double flowers, golden centers, and long-lasting late-season display. Blooming from late summer through mid fall, masses of vibrant blossoms rise above attractive deep green foliage on sturdy stems, bringing welcome color to the garden as many other perennials begin to fade. The nectar-rich flowers attract bees and butterflies while adding elegance and movement to the landscape.
Its tidy, clump-forming habit makes Pamina an excellent choice for perennial borders, woodland gardens, cottage gardens, and patio containers. Shorter than many Japanese anemones, it is well suited to smaller landscapes and requires little to no staking. The long-lasting blooms also make beautiful fresh-cut flowers, extending their beauty indoors.
Typically growing 24 to 30 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide, Pamina thrives in partial sun and moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Once established, it forms slowly spreading clumps that return reliably each year. Regular watering during prolonged dry periods will encourage abundant flowering and healthy growth.
