Anemone x hybrida 'Party Dress' 10/2021 Anemone-
Anemone x hybrida 'Party Dress' 10/2021 Anemone- (Fredrika Bronsther,Hewlett, N.Y 1997) Japanese Anemone, Windflower, Mature size: 36", pink double, USDA Hardiness Zone 5, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW39, In Garden Bed Y0,2,2 for 11.4 YEARS (Lone). Planted in 2010.
smgrowers.com: Anemone x hybrida 'Party Dress' PP13,844 (Pink Japanese Anemone) - Perennial plant with glossy green foliage to 20 inches tall. In late summer through fall, rising on stems to 36-38 inches tall are big, fluffy double pink flowers to 3 1/2 inches in diameter - nearly twice the size of most Japanese Anemones. This prolific bloomer may require staking like most tall Japanese Anemones. Plant in full sun to partial shade and water regularly. Hardy to USDA Hardiness Zones 5 (0° F). Great in the back of informal flower beds with other tall plants. Discovered by the Inventor as a chance seedling from a random cross-pollination of two unnamed selections of Anemone x hybrida, not patented. This Anemone was selected by Fredrika Bronsther in 1997 of Hewlett, N.Y for its large pink flowers.
2020 notes: Somewhat top heavy. Rain will bring the blooms to the ground. Even without rain the blooms tend to splay. The supporting infrastructure is not able to uphold the facade. It spreads, but not as much as my other anemones. The flowers are quite attractive. Anemones are probaley meant to be single.
